Have you actually accounted for all the services you’re receiving from the government? Road construction and maintenance, schools, availability of clean water, safe aviation, trustworthy financial markets, public universities, funding for research that improves your health and happiness, and so on? I don’t think you can even really put a price on most of those, because they simply could not exist without a centralized system funded by taxes.
