Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting over what they will have for dinner, so yes, I am not a fan.
The form we have here in the US, a representative republic with democratic elections, is probably the least bad form there can be, and certainly a better form of government than any other that has yet been tried.
None of that changes the fact that if someone decides not to pay taxes for shit they don't agree with, men with guns will eventually come and lock them up. That's not sharing. That's theft with an official veneer to make it acceptable to the masses.
People should have the opportunity to voluntarily opt to support the things they believe government should be doing, and opt out of supporting the things they don't want it doing. Put the onus on the government to convince the people that something is worth them sending in their hard-earned money.
