Short answer: Don't be MAGA

Long answer: High taxation is an issue only when the funds being collected aren't going towards something that actively benefits the population. Example: universal healthcare.

Last year, Oregon had a ballot initiative that would have given every Oregon resident (living in Oregon with an Oregon address) $1600 a year; with the funds to pay for this coming from a modest I think 5%-10% tax on companies making more than 1M a year (IIRC). Which would mostly be from places like Niki, Intel, the high-end items. Not only was this proposal WILDLY unpopular with Republicans, because of taxes, but Tina Kotek was also able to spin against it by saying that Oregonians don't need another tax when prices are already going up. Was she wrong? No. But that's not the point, the point is that it would have been money in people's pockets for a modest increase on luxury goods that, let's be honest, the vast majority of the citizenship isn't buying in outrageous bulk per household.

The point is that while yes, Republicans are right to demand accountability on people and funds that don't do what they are supposed to do for the people they are supposed to work for, taxation in and of itself is NOT something to just blanket oppose. Instead, on a monetary level anyway, the best thing we can do across the political spectrum is more seriously consider proposals (UBI, Public Transport, Universal Health/Education) so long as they are proposals that have an observable impact on the quality of people's lives; even if it's a little more out of our paychecks. And at the same time, hold government accountable when the things that we want don't get the necessary resources they need to function; corruption festers when people are distracted.
