I'm not against voluntary taxes. I'm against coercive taxes.

give me a checkbox of things I can choose to pay for (and the resulting services I either get or don't get) and I wouldn't have a problem.

If it's voluntary it's not a tax it's a subscription service.

I take that as a good thing. Same for you it was a refreshing experience.
