It depends on whether you're talking about grass-roots Democrats or the ones in office. The ordinary citizens I have known have mixed feelings about it - they complain about having to pay for high taxes, but most of them tend to vote for tax increases because it will (a) benefit them personally, those who work for the government, or (b) the politicians have threatened to reduce their fire & police department protection if we don't give them more money. If you're asking this question about the elected officials themselves - yes, Democrats love to tax and tax and tax. If you just read the record, this isn't even a matter of debate.
