How much more? 5%? 10% You could donate 100% of your income right now -nothing is stopping you. I'm sure your local council will be happy to receive it.
Tax over and above what's needed for basic necessities is theft.
Any donation that I care to make will not, because it is a donation, change how the institutions of society function (unless I was galactically wealthy, which sadly I am not).
These decisions need to be taken with a view of society as a whole - what the requirement is and what the available funds are, and what the implications of any such change would be (both positive and negative).
That tax is theft is risible - literally a childs understanding of the world.
Dammit-

The issue is that the decisions are not very good. And once a tax or benefit is in place, it's almost impossible to remove. Eg. tax credits.

If someone took your bike and gave it to the homeless, is it theft?
