If liberal Democrats that higher taxes are the best way to go, why do they have to be told to pay more?

Why don't they simply add the proposed higher taxes to their taxes every year? Why wait?

Update:

@Steve: No it isn't.

Update 2:

@from: No they don't and it's been proven by liberal companies like Bloomberg. Joe and his wife actually donated $350 last year.

Update 3:

@anon: How are Democrats paying more than Republicans? Make some sense.

Update 4:

@Anon: LOLOLOLOL I live just outside Philadelphia, but you believe what you want. Liberals usually do.

    Is Obama paying his fair share on that $60 million Netflix just gave him?

    Patrick 4024, how much of what a person EARNS should be surrendered to the federal government?  What gives you the right to decide who should pay how much?  When will welfare parasites pay their "fair share" since they have the very same rights as people who pay more than 50% of America's taxes, the "rich", of whom you are disgustingly jealous?

    You have to stop listening to Trump's lying ads. They are designed to scare people into voting for Trump. Trump's the clown that gave a trillion dollar tax cut to the richest Americans for no reason. 

    Biden has already explained that BIG BUSINESS AND THE SUPER RICH WILL LOSE TRUMP'S tax cut GIFTS.  If you make less than $400,000 a year, your taxes won't be raised.

    Because it's illegal, and because the government would have to send back the money, but mostly because it's being told to pay more that really helps the economy, by encouraging people to spend more so that they can deduct it on their taxes; voluntarily paying more tax doesn't provide the same benefit.

    EDIT: @Ann, thank you for proving you're not in the U.S.  Anyone who lives in the U.S. knows exactly what I mean.  Blue states/liberals transfer $billions in welfare to Red states/Trump supporters every single year.  Use the internet to figure the rest out, please.

    We already do pay higher taxes than you red state parasites.  Who do you think is paying to keep you out of the fourth world?  Now, what's the Trump plan to pay off his $30 trillion debt?

    Because thanks to Republican leadership the wealthy have avoided paying their fair share.  So, do not say you like to pay taxes when the rich, who do not need the money, avoid paying their fair share of it.
