For a $30 sale, the government already takes $19 through income tax, gas tax, etc., leaving you $11 of the $30. She's implying that the $11 you keep is too much.
How much does she think you should have to support yourself and your family? $5 of each $30 subscription?

That is not at all what she is saying. Her, like president Obama, wants to raise taxes from 35% to 39%, not 60%.
