you just gave some examples of why sending more tax to the government would make things worse not better. They over spend and overshoot on ideals consistently, you think that magically stops if they get some more revenue coming in? no, they will just spend more and debts will remain or even grow.
canada is a perfect example of this. We are well over taxed as a nation and inflation is starting to consume us. You think the middle class is hit hard there? try living here for a while paying a solid 13% on just about everything purchased on top of a 45-50% income tax. Avg salaries around here are just under 50k a year but our cost of living is almost double what it is in the US over the last 10 years or so. We keep raising our taxes and raising minimum wages while the middle class gets neutered financially taking up the slack.
The problem is what they do with the taxes, not that they aren't getting enough of it.
