You are made to fund, by compulsion, monopolized services, by an entity that has a poor incentive to provide them efficiently. I firmly believe in supporting education, scientific research, and a social safety net. I disagree entirely with the mechanism by which the state does so. It also happens that the state tends to fund things that further its own power and are generally evil, such as weapons of mass destruction, military drones (and all the civilian deaths that go with them), torture, secret mass surveillance on their own citizens, subsidizing corrupt corporations, police who engage in unprovoked violence, propaganda, secret unethical experiments against their own citizens, ect... But sure... sure. Go on with the whole "who will build the roads" meme. /rant
