It will be very difficult when total tax rate reaches 100%. It is already over 60-70% in some places, so people's lives are managed more by the government than by themselves, but when you reach 100% and the disposable income gets to be 0 it is hard to extract more tax.
Also: if you are willing to pay more taxes don't even consider forcing others to do the same, that is rude.

Yes, in many jurisdictions voluntary contributions are accepted. I assume you've already explored this option?

I am not interested as I don’t think voluntary contributions can change anything. This argument goes both ways: why not lowering taxes since people can just donate instead? The next thing you know you don’t have hospitals, roads, police, firemen, army, education, healthcare, oops
