You're assuming that paying more taxes = increased social facilities.
In theory, that works great, but given the track record of various government programs, I'd suggest that it's not a 1:1 ratio.
I'd argue, the matter is a lack of trust in the government to allocate money wisely rather than a prevalence of greed among people who'd rather watch the world burn than pay another cent to the government.

Who would you trust more? A group of people formed explicitly to help others, with no profit motive and less fear of job loss or a group formed to make profit, organised around a profit motive? Yeah it's not perfect and there's all sorts of fraud and corruption that goes on, but I'll take the NHS any day over the US health system, and so would almost everyone here.
