Bottom line: Like it or not taxes pay for stuff. You could definitely make an argument that in some cases (and not that many actually) money is wasted unnecessarily. I know lots and lots of people who bemoan taxes but yet complain about the state of roads, the response time of emergency personnel and the lack of the government to stimulate the economy. All of those thigns are done with tax dollars. You cannot have it both ways. No taxes (or in this case cheating to get out of taxes) leads to less services just like less money in the checkbook leads to less groceries.
Many people identify wasteful spending based upon what affects them. For example, a farmer sees the WIC program as a waste of money while the single mother sees farm subsidies as a waste of money. Regardless of how you feel taxes of one kind or another pay for both.
I find your last statement particularly ironic in that I read in some really old book one time that this guy named Jesus when asked about taxes replied "pay unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, pay unto God that which is God's" Mathew 22:21. Ironically though many people choose to pay unto neither.
