I most certainly do object to Philly's high taxes. I was merely making the point that you can't even point to decent city services as a positive for enduring high taxes (something you most definitely can do in some other high-tax areas).
My post summarized the post I was replying to (by dogas), highlighting the apparent contradiction contained therein: Philly's taxes are "exorbitantly high" yet dogas would be _happy_ to pay them _if only_ ...
And I added the absurd/tongue-in-cheek suggestion that maybe dogas would be interested in trying to see if _higher_ taxes would achieve dogas' ideal. I think I would have avoided the downmodding by annotating with <tic> to make this clear.
