Most of taxation is robbing Peter to pay Paul. The issue most people have is the degree to which it's happening. Very few people literally want homeless people to just die. But some people might not want to spend 10% of their taxes on the homeless when it doesn't appear to be improving the situation, and does - to some people - appear to be making the situation somehow worse. Some of the people in that group might be glad to spend 10% of their taxes on the homeless, if it actually worked. In fact, I'd wager many would be willing to spend much more if it would actually work. But it appears to be a problem that can't be fixed by throwing money on it.
