Is the paying of taxes democratic?

I don't think there is any question that NO ONE likes and actually supports paying taxes.

But all taxes are passed into law by democratically elected officials, using the Democratic process. So, the people have apparently democratically decided they want what the taxes provide.

All governments tax, and always have. In a non-democratic one, the people have little of no say as to what the tax is for, how much it should be, etc.
