This says Americans don't trust their government with a blank check, nothing more. That poll is meaningless without a specific policy proposal.

I am always opposed to taxing people directly. Countries generally collect a lot of tax money and then put it to use. $10 per person in a 300M country is $3B: while not peanuts, USA government has spent 4.45 trillion in FY2019. Clearly similar gains could be achieved by reprioritizing expenditure elsewhere.
