Why would they be wrong? They help you and others in times of need, for example if you are sick or lose your job. I don't know about the US, but in most Western European countries there is some social security for that event. I am happy to pay for roads, for welfare, and for health care. I am not so happy paying for industry subsidies and military expenses, but that doesnt make taxes inherently wrong, it just reminds me that the democracy isnt really working the way it should.
