Do you think people should be allowed to withhold tax if they don't agree with the government?
I'm asking because a lefty person I once knew said he would gladly pay more tax if we had a "nice" govt who didn't waste money on wars. A righty might be willing to pay more tax if the govt stopped sponsoring welfare breeders.

The bureacracy associated with everyone picking what taxes they want to pay would be enormous, and we'd end up paying double anyway.

The leftist is just proving how stupid his ideology is, because the whole point of tax is, it’s compulsory.
He is saying he doesn’t even agree with his own ideology. It’s idiots like him who are responsible for perpetual war, because they believe the government has a presumptive right to our money, and that a right is whatever the government says it is.

People have been doing this for decades, mainly for military spending. I remover er Joan Baez doing it in America, and the CND here often discussed it.
You should have tick boxes for the bits you want and opt in to the tax. It wouldn't work though would it, nobody would pay taxes voluntarily and it would be impossible to keep track of the whole thing.

No. There's a difference between witholding the tax you owe and being willing to pay extra

Welfare breeders are about 0.00000000001% of the population so I calculate that at about 1p a year, sure go ahead, you can withhold that.

Sound awesome. But every ody would have an excuse ot to pay, for something or other. They would be allowed to give to the charity of their choice. With proof of the donation.
Maybe that would work. But still would deny much needed funds.

No. When given the opportunity, you vote the government out of office for a new one that better suits your viewpoint.
