I'm sure you've heard of the "Build Back Better"-Act---a couple bills the legislators are debating that would spend billions of dollars on 'things society needs to get built back better.'
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/oct/18/what-is-build-back-better-crash-course
I haven't reviewed the bill's basics (as you can at the link), but the gist of it is this: 'the government' will pay for all the services in the bill (childcare, education, paid leave, etc.)
And I think; 'Democracy' means "rule by the people"; the "Build Back Better"-act sounds like 'powerless subjects relying upon the charity of the administrators' 
Why don't the legislators just eliminate- (or heavily reduce)-our income-taxes, and trust us to spend the spare money to provide the services for OURSELVES?
I think it's because they don't believe in Democracy. They think the human-animal is too greedy, self-centered & lazy to spend money on anything better than junk-food and sin.

Why doesn't the government tax them first, and THEN think about what to do with all the money?

I think it's an excuse to raise taxes when we need cuts. How do we know where our tax dollars will really go?
