I pay about the right percentage, as a low earner. The people who earn 10 times or 100 times as much as I do should pay far greater percentages of tax. As it is, those who earn 10x pay the same percentage, due to selfish government policy. Those who earn 100x pay far less of a percentage due to offshore finance, tax havens, loopholes, etc....
Voted : I would pay more for some gov't programs, and do away with others entirely
I would pay more in taxes for high quality national health care.

^What Skylab said.
Voted : Yes, there should be more tax and spending cuts
It is less about tax cuts than tax shifts. As long as humans have to pay taxes on what they earn or what biz they do, or what they consume (if not harmful or polluting) then they are mere slaves. A free and prosperous society derives its public revenue from collecting the annuanl value attached to land (location - land being anything humans enjoy as a gift of "god"). Check out http://prosper.org.au/node/70 and think about it the next time you are asked to give up what is rightfully yours to support a government that basically acts agains your will and integrity.
