Of course you're supposed to be alarmed.
How else is the right going to increase their fear-mongering base?

I may have fallen victim to some fear-mongering myself.
I fear that I (middle class American) will face numerous tax increases in the future. I do not know for sure what form those increases will take, but I think that tax increases will be coming. Some will be hidden, some will necessarily be in the open. Some I'll pay directly to the government, some I'll pay in the form of purchases I make.
But I am willing to state for the record that tax increases are coming.
I'm sure that standing on the sidelines and taking the occasional pot shot may be fun, but I am asking you to go out on a limb, take a gamble and tell me what you think the future holds. You mock those that mention a VAT. Is it just the VAT, or any tax increase that you think is unlikely?
Will our president stick to his "not one single dime" pledge?
