Of all of the things I don't understand about taxes, the main thing is: Why do some people want more?

More taxes makes more money available for spending in infrastructure.

Because these people feel that they can be "good" people by making government do things to stop all the "bad" things from happening.  These people don't want to do it themselves because it would take too much time or money they aren't willing to give but if they tax everyone for it they don't have to pay much themselves and can feel like they are a "good person" because they made everyone else pay for what they weren't willing to do themselves.

Its the new liberal hippy way of doing thing.  This idea didn't exist prior to the hippies turning into yuppies.

Because they want more government funding into favorable programs.  The government uses taxes to spend money on us, basically projects that would be too large to fund ourselves, and obviously you can't expect every person in a country to willingly contribute money to fund a project that most of them will never even use, but people want more taxes so the government can do more things.

Because more taxes provides the government with more money to spend on all of the programs it runs.

Instead of paying the government for the other 300 million people in the country's heath care, I would rather save what I own, and pay for my health care myself.
