This is what I believe.

It's much easier to give away, then to take back. The minute the people give the government more money, that money is gone for a long, long time. Removing taxes is extremely difficult. Cutting programs provided by those taxes is even more difficult.

The government cannot properly spend the money that they have. There is no way that I can trust them with more money, even if the cause is good.
