Considering income tax to be your money just causes a lot of unnecessary angst. It is money that you never have. It is your nett income that determines what you can afford to buy and your lifestyle. Same deal with sales tax, consider it to be part of the cost of the item (which it is) and all your worries about the evil government spending YOUR money evaporate. By all means vote for the party that you think will spend their money (because it is their money once they're in possession of it) in a way that benefits you or the people you love the most, but stop stressing about them spending YOUR money. Is the money in your pocket your money or your employers money? Is the money in your pocket your money or your employers money? Is the money in your pocket your money or your employers money?
