On the one side, nobody disputes that taxes are handled poorly by governments and usually administered by assholes who consider it their duty to terrorize citizens into paying taxes.

On the other side though, is that some taxes are spent well, even if most are not.

People should have a line item veto for what taxes are spent on, but at this point the concept of taxation has turned into such a dark subject that some people would rather have no services than good services https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/13/us/anti-tax-fervor-roseburg-oregon-.html

Defense spending is the most controversial of them all. For example, the majority of the American taxpayers remain opposed to spending the tax revenue on reckless invasions of third world nations, such as Iraq and Libya.
