These decisions need to be taken with a view of society as a whole
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.
That tax is theft is risible
If someone took your bike and gave it to the homeless, is it theft?

Either you don't understand what tax is, and deserve our pity and educational assistance, or you are a moron who thinks that anyone would be taken in by your astonishingly stupid comparison of a) tax and b) bike theft, which is a rhetorical saw so blunt it even has a fucking Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_equivalence

What does this actually mean? i.e. what point are you making here? That we should never take a decision in case it (later) turns out to have been wrong? How, then, do you get dressed in the morning?
Dammit
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.
