Oh i know a LOT of people who want to and actually do give a lot of time and money to help the poor and disadvantaged, advance social justice etc --but they all choose to donate directly to the nonprofit organizations whose mission statement is to do just that... or they start their own nonprofit to do just that. But they never want to give that money to the government to do that job. Maybe it's different in your country if youre not in US. Good that you have met these people through -- they are rare!
They view it as a duty, pride to do it, and want to give government money to help the poor, social programs, etc. I have met some.
