Joe Biden said it was "patriotic" to pay taxes on the campaign trail in 2008, and it was considered a major gaffe. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Same thing when Obama said "You didn't build that!"
The problem isn't that Dems won't say these things; it's that all the other Dems run away when they get a little pushback for it.

I like paying taxes. Genuinely. Not grudgingly. I can’t pave a road, I can’t build and staff a hospital. $200 in my pocket won’t pay for my kid’s daycare but if we all pool our money it might. I really wish someone on the left would be brave enough to be like, “Taxes are good, actually.”

I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Tax cuts where we don't see the benefit - such as those for the billionaires - no value. Trickle down is a hoax. We just see non-raises and higher costs from those.
