You've unintentionally hit the crux of it: charity vs extortion.
You're willing to donate for charity, and this is widely understood to be a virtue. But this is a choice you're making, to give of yourself.
Taxation is the government taking it from you, without your consent, and enforcing it with the ultimate threat of violence. If you don't pay your taxes, first the IRS will send you letters demanding it, and if you still refuse, they'll send armed cops to arrest you. And if you somehow resist the armed police, they'll send the national guard after you, because clearly you're a danger to society.
Taxation is just legalized armed robbery. You have no right to refuse, no right to choose what your taxes are used to pay for, nothing.
Yup, big government makes everything worse. It's another way of taking power away from people.
Before government, people were thankful to other people for taking care of them when they didn't have to. This also fostered positive relationships between people.
With government, it has created a relationship where the poor feel entitled to being provided for and the ones paying for it feel that they're being robbed. Any thankfulness or gratitude goes to the government and not the people paying for it (I haven't looked it up, but I'm betting charity is led by white people).
^This Also they print as much money as t hey want anyway, so it really doesnt matter.
A fucking surgeon should not be makig $700k a year. A teacher should not be making 100k a year. Elon shoudlnt be able to make trillions (out of printed money)
This world's a joke and not a particularly funny one
