Once when young, I used to dream of living and working in the US, how naive I was!

Where are you now? What do taxes cost you?

Not related, but I pay about 40% income tax plus a 25% value-added tax (VAT) on every purchase.

It's at a good level but my political belief is that this should be higher.

That's not an uncommon belief - feel free to write an extra check to your tax department and they will happily accept it. Normally tax departments have a whole system set up to accept voluntary additional tax payments for anyone who feels inclined to top up their contribution to the wellbeing of the state.

Very clever, but my tax agency does not allow for donations.

Somehow I doubt that. What country are you in?
