I appreciate the honesty.
There are events happening that must be paid for.
A great example is coal plants (especially older ones).
The electricity is cheap when it comes from old coal plants. Unless you take into consideration the increased death rates and many illnesses.
If you include the cost of treating the increase in those illnesses, coal becomes a lot more expensive to society.
In addition, most of the people, liberal and conservative, will not have their taxes increased.
For those that will, perhaps the rest of the platform (universal health care, better standing with the international community, less government poking its nose where it doesn't belong, etc) more than make up for the increased taxes
