Schools, roads, hospitals, libraries, sometimes sports arenas, police, firefighters, social programs, our armed services--these are not the toys of assorted officials. I get sick and tired of people whingeing about their taxes because "they earned it, it's their money." Crap. If you don't want a government at all, go live in Montana and be a survivalist and stop using the things government, that is, We the People, that is, your fellow-citizens, gives us. Sheesh.
