On one hand, we get quite a bit for our taxes. The roads that I drive
on in the U.S. are passable, air travel is generally safe and
efficient, I'm not stepping over starving people when I walk through
most towns, the parks are clean and convenient, and when I go on
vacation all my stuff is still in my condo when I get back.

On the other hand, the government interferes in many ways where it
should not. Deflation won't happen because the government can (and
will) flood the economy with dollars, if necessary: a political
decision more than a well-planned action that makes the best economic
sense.

But the problem with refusing to pay taxes is that it will land you in
jail. And, as long as the western nations remain representative of the
will of the masses, taxation, manipulation, interference, and large-
scale, government-funded projects are inevitable.
