That's the difference. Some people choose to have faith. Some don't. It's pretty closely tied to party affiliation and beliefs in size of government.
I paid over $50k in taxes in 2018, not including property or sales tax, and we don't even have a state income tax. I would do a lot more if I had that money.
A use tax is voluntarily by your choice to purchase said thing. I advocate for the abolition of income tax in favor of use tax.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
