Have a mortgage and a kid, more left now than I ever was in my past. While recognizing that not everyone wants those things, my living standard really should be the baseline and I don't mind paying taxes to make it easier for others to achieve it. It does piss me off that most of my taxes go to a military I don't approve of though.
Integrating media software directly into TVs was a mistake, TVs should not need dedicated years of support because they should just work as long as the components continue to function. I'm still using a 10 year old TV because it doesn't do anything other than output the incoming input. Hook any system or media player to that and you can swap those out as software lifecycles dictate at a much lower cost.
