You fail to see my point. You benefit from the tax system and you don't even know it.

I know exactly how I benefit from the tax system. You are under the mistaken impression that just because some things are beneficial means that they are a good idea for the government to get involved in (either to the degree they are, or any involvement whatsoever).

Parks!

Without taxes and govt we wouldn't have them. They aren't profitable so why would someone develop their land for that?

A private entity could probably run my local park better, but what would be their incentive? It's like that with lots of things.

Are you against public parks? What about public schools? What about public roads? Police Dept? Fire Dept? It's a slippery slope when you start going down the small govt/no tax route.
