I’m currently considering five [edit: six] names for a pro-tax organization, listed below in alphabetical order. If you have time and interest, I’d appreciate any sort of commentary you might want to give - what you like or don’t like, what the connotations are for you, other suggestions, anything

My favorites of these are the first two, because of the reclaiming of notional citizenship/patriotism from the right.

I find "Paying Our Share" a tiny bit smug and I think it would be super off-putting to many. Pro-Tax Network is dry, and although I like the tagline (har) for the last one, the name is too cutesy for me to take seriously.

Interesting! Paying our Share is the one that I liked.

"Investing in our Country" would also work for me, though...

I like the last three, but I think Paying Our Share conveys the concept really well - it tells me that it's all interconnected, and reminds me that taxes are a joint effort to improve the country.

I like "Paying Our Share" the best.

Amusingly enough, given that I was pushing something based on investment, I like "Doing our Share". But "Paying our Share" is also good, and I agree with the folks who push the reclaiming angle--being apologetically pro-tax is not the right direction to go in.

"Doing Our Share" is my favorite. I agree with aroraborealis about "Paying Our Share"; it seems smug and overweening. "Citizens Investing..." is too long and not amenable to a snappy acronym, and anything which says "taxes" in it is likely fail (Marketing int: don't use the language of your opponent; since they are all "Tax Freedom Foundation" and equivalent names, choose a name without the word "tax" in it).
