I don't see how accepting taxpayer funded welfare can not cause increased tax burden, unless it is funded via debasement, which is just a sly form of tax anyway.
I see it this way. An individual's utilization of an already budgeted, existing program does not increase tax burden. Government's current fiscal policies on welfare programs do increase tax burden. It should be on the government to reduce the welfare and reduce wasteful spending, not on the individual to reject what's been already offered. By the way, I grew up in NZ too, kia ora!
