I agree there, and I don’t think anyone is arguing that charities don’t generally do good work. I don’t want to see what little of that chunk of taxes that do go to helping people be cut away leaving only more of taxes to go in to the MIC, corruption and waste.

This is a flawed analogy, if Tax’s are the equivalent of being robbed at gun point, the real question is, would you rather be robbed by someone trying to feed their family or robbed by someone just adding to their pile of money. You’re getting taxed no matter what, ideally I would prefer that money go to help people.
