Over half of the discretionary spending (the spending that would be affected by additional resources) goes to the Military. Consider donating directly to causes that you care about.

I donate a lot, which brings down my taxes too, but that feels like we just get a kind of country that the wealthy can patronize.

Personally, I'd be more comfortable allocating more of my income to taxes if I could choose where it goes - aka, healthcare & education instead of military. Until then, I would prefer to put in as little as possible.

I'm a permanent resident do I don't get to vote, but citizens do get that.

I'm always a bit confused by this framing of not having paid enough in taxes. Donations to the Treasury serve exactly this purpose https://fiscal.treasury.gov/public/gifts-to-government.html … I suspect the sentiment is really, "I want others to want to pay more," which is totally fine, but why not just say that?

I absolutely want others to pay more, and happy to myself, on an equitable basis. That's the point. In my case too, I'd love to see state income taxes. We have none here in Washington.

very solid effort. NYC tax residents only get to play the game on a 3x difficulty factor.

~53% in Canada. And somehow we hold it together.

I thought 42% was the highest marginal here?
