You don't think about the taxes when you think about driving on a paved street, obeying red lights so you don't crash, getting your mail delivered, watching the cops arrest a bank robber, having the fire department put out your burning house, and other essential parts of society. People consider all of these free, they're not receiving a bill for it.

Health care is just as important, yet people cry about the small tax hike. However spending hundreds of billions on invading another country on little more than a hunch is barely questioned. Those are pretty fucked up priorities.
