Not necessarily. 

But I'll gladly pay an extra $20 a month in taxes if it goes towards helping other people. 

You should donate money to help others in need but the government shouldn't be the one's doing it with my money

The first quote seems to indicate your taxes going up would cause a significant financial burden, no?

It's not a financial burden but It's my money that I earned working

I'd rather decide on my own where to spend that money if I want to help others with it.

Just because it doesn't cause a financial burden doesn't mean it's ok.

Mine went up under Trump as well, but it wasn't by much.

I'm not sure how you figure. In 2016 the tax rate for incomes $9 - $37k was 15% from $38k to $91 was 25%. In 2019 the tax rates were 12% and 22% respectively.

I can't donate money to give people affordable healthcare.

I think you are reading them incorrectly since the tax table says otherwise. Also, you should also note that the more you make the more social security is removed, and that is a fixed rate. Then, just how much has your state withholdings changed? California it is a never ending rise.

People who don't have affordable healthcare are in that situation because they're lazy and make poor decisions.

No it's because of the State's intervention into private industry.

Maybe you should just donate $20 a month to a worthy charity then.

Yep, if we let the healthcare industry operate without restrictions they would do what's best for their clients.

The healthcare industry doesn't want to operate without restrictions. They have a nice and tidy closed market thanks to their pals in Washington.

The "charity" argument is entirely fallacious and you guys really should stop high-fiving each other naked, touching pee-pees while making it.

I'm paying taxes involuntarily. I have no choice on where my taxes go or how little I pay. If I'm paying more in taxes, which would not be my choice, I'd be fine with it if it went towards a worthy cause. Again, let me say it louder: I HAVE NO CHOICE ON HOW MUCH MY TAXES ARE OR WHERE THEY GO TO.

I guess tdawg is going to be selfish and keep his $20

$20 pays my gas for a few weeks.

$20 for you or any of the other people whining about taxes here pays for the valet to park your car.
