I think you've misunderstood me.

I suggested raising taxes in the first place.

What I'm opposed to is some hand-wavy demand to "take personal responsibility" without suggesting exactly what they're supposed to do and whether any tradeoffs involved are reasonable.

And please don't call people names. You can write comments here without calling other people "keyboard warriors". Nor is it helpful to try to shut down some viewpoint by claiming that somebody doesn't need any extra support.

And I think most people would consider not seeing their family more than e.g. four times a year more than just the "mildest inconvenience".

Knowing this completely changes the tone, I’d missed that you were that same commenter too.
