But is that a tax problem? or your lifestyle? Ever stop thinking about the amount of dirt you consume? own? or as a household? Have you ever thought about where this stuff came from? and ends? Do you think this item just appears miraculously and comes from a never ending inventory of goods? Just food to think about, back on topic; If your taxes are not wasted but invested in your country, whether it's health care, welfare, better roads, state-owned energy and so on, do not you find it impossible to make a profit? Do you like to see homeless people?
Almost everything you listed could and was private and profitable in history. And it was better handled by free market. For example unions and guilds did a far better job sending good help only to those who really deserves it (for example became disabled at work) and not feeding the parasites that don't want to work like modern governments do on purpose.
