obviously the Torah doesn’t mention taxes; there are certainly references to tzedakah, chesed (even to the wealthy), terumah, maaser, maaser ani, smittah, yovel. The Rambam says it’s a mitzvah to feed & clothe non-Jews as well.
Trying to fit western democracy into Torah is complete folly to begin with, whether it’s republicans or democrats or independents.
Torah is not a liberal or conservative “document” lehavdil, it’s a Divine one.
