Taxes are extortion. There is no other way to define them. Therefore, they should be limited to what is necessary to fund the legitimate and necessary functions of government.
I have found that your garden variety liberals get very nervous when you boil down their “charity” and “compassion” to a simple act of THEFT.
They are advocating that the government steal from party A to “give” to party B, so that they, party C, can feel like they’re “good people”.
