Rational people understand that tax dollars would be spent on programs that benefit the society, usually at a rate that exceeds the cost because of the quantity of scale and lack of a net profit being created.
If that were true, then people would be glad to pay taxes. But it's not true, which is why the state threatens you with a prison sentence if you don't pay up.
and lack of a net profit being created.
Profits created a strong incentive to produce. That's why in this pic:
there is plenty of bread available in the upper section because bread is being sold for a profit.
In the lower section, the state is supplying bread for free.
