i don't get why it's even an issue of 'who would pay for it' as that just seems to go under 'things taxes pay for"

Again, the absurdity was to garner an emotional response from someone. My response wasn't "OMFG she's charging for rape! How asinine!" because I believe that there's a cost associated with things and how will we fund them?
When you pay lots of taxes, maybe at some point you aren't going to be so interested in paying even more taxes. I don't care about the rest of the folks out there after point, "an imaginary line in the sand," if you will.
At some point, I don't want to pay more taxes and continue to get less goods and services.
You may be interested in doing so, but I'm not.
