Paying Taxes is the reason we are getting Health services, Law enforcement, Clean streets and parks, Great Infrastructure.

Government need money to provide us a better place to live that's why they force us to pay taxes.
This is all true. Unfortunately the percentages of our taxes that go towards these things listed are screwed up by the nonsense back room deals our politicians create which leads to billions of wasted tax dollars.

If taxes were actually paid towards health services and infrastructure we would have robots as nurses and we'd have robot cleaners everywhere, fact is in most countries they spend government money on military spending and contracts rather than what they claim and only provide the bear minimum for people so they survive.
