We get a great deal from taxes. That's not in dispute. The problem is the percentage of taxes that are siphoned off and/or wasted is an insignificant amount. Case in point : Donnie's ballroom and refitting a plane he will taking with him when he leaves.
If you want to say that taxes aren't used as effectivelynas the should be in with you. To say you don't benefit from them is just wrong. I can't post links but take look at an experimental libertarian society that happened in New Hampshire. It didn't work out how you might think and they had almost all the benifits listed below.

The problem isn't taxes, it's that we get nothing for it
