So..exactly WHICH government services are you not willing to pay for?
Roads? Medical Research? National Defense? Employment offices? Medicare?
Social Security? Air Traffic Controllers? Diplomacy with other countries
to avoid war?  Maintenance of Publicly owned forests and lands? 
Environmental Protection?  Prosecution of Criminals?  Prisons?
Which one of these services, funded by your taxes, should the
government NOT provide? (Notice I left welfare out of the discussion...)
