I agree, I wish I could trust them enough to believe they would do the "right thing". Unfortunately it's a "I will get mine" world and very few are above feeling that way. If the money comes in, they will all feel entitled to it and expect others to make the sacrifice. If they would come up with a bulletproof plan up front and would be held accountable, then I would feel better about the situation. As it is, I wouldn't trust one of them at all so I would have a hard time voting for such a tax increase. Prove to me that you will do the right thing and then I will gladly give the money.
