No doubt public positions enriched by tax payer dollars are some of the biggest benefactors. Six digit salaries are common in many public sector positions, very often with very little oversight. Increasing taxes is net positive for them. Additionally those with true power leach off the taxpayers through kickbacks, positions, contracts provided to their friends and associates in the businesses who 'win' the bids, again for projects with very little oversight, cost overruns, and delays, with very little actual benefit to the public. Of course this is not always the case, but the ballooning of the public sector 'jobs', and the ballooning of companies (domestic and foreign) and special interests who suck at the public teat, is substantial.
A liberal friend, I'm not certain he posts here, might be buck or mellow for all I know, keeps stating "get money out of politics!" I quickly respond, "then cut taxes!" If there weren't the forced compliance of income taxes, the money would move out of politics very quickly. But that's the point, its forced, mandatory, and the money will always flow into the coffers of DC, and special interests, mostly large, will be standing at the front of the line with their hands out, mutually winking with the decision makers as they tell the public "this will benefit you greatly," and "you wouldn't survive without this turd!" This happens in Olympia and Seattle.
I'd like to think the public is becoming aware of this. The vast inflation of the last 4 years has made that obvious to the working poors. I tend to run in well to do circles, and the amount of lack of understanding by my generally rich, wealthy, and honestly smug friends is perplexing. So much of it honestly is caught up in projecting the image of "I'm part of the group." This applies in my observation, mostly to the confines of Seattle. My liberal friend resembles this. The fear of telling others in Seattle you voted republican or for a more conservative candidate has social consequences. This holds true in conservative areas as well, but in my experience in those areas, not quite like it does in liberal ones.
I posted something recently where a couple hundred federal workers who had worked 3-4 years there were surveyed. All but two were making over $100,000, and the average vacation time annually with sick days and holidays (11 federal holidays) over 8 weeks off a year.
Many of the people paying taxes for these salaries and vacation are lucky if they get 3 weeks total PTO (sick and vacation) along with 6 holidays.
Why are Democrat voters so eager to pay more taxes when there is so much fat to trim in the federal government? It’s like they are religious worshippers donating money they could use themselves so their cult leaders can buy bigger homes, and they are also making those who don’t believe in the Dem cult donate, too.
It’s ridiculous but the morons here advocate for it almost as an obsession.

Again, the American public is the biggest money laundering scheme in the world.
"The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money." Joe Biden or something
The UniParty and their global partners are (on surface) legally robbing the biggest bank in the world … the American taxpayers.
“Progressives” who post support it because they don’t care if their cult leaders are criminals.
