Okay It looks like I will still have you explain to you what taxes are and how they work. I didn't think you we're this ignorant of taxes, but you've proven otherwise.
In sum, you give money out of your check(I assume you dont work since you voat all day) and the government uses that money to pay for roads and schools and law enforcement. In some select areas the road taxes are supplemented when you buy fuel. Most of the state tax money goes to schools, healthcare and higher education, but this isn't all, there are more things a ton more things.
Federal taxes go to healthcare, defense, medicare, and safety net programs. Keep in mind that there are more things than these.
Now I will explain to you what will happen if you lack these items in the most simple way possible.
State:
Roads: I assume you drive, maybe, and I'm 200% you'd rather drive on a nice road than on a shitty hole ridden road that causes damages to your vehicle. Taxes go a long way to prevent damage to your vehicle.
Schools: you we're obviously educated in a public school. What would happen to you if there were no schools to educate you? Go ahead and pick which redneck child on the Simpsons you want to be, because that's your life. Sure you could have a private school education, BUT do you really think there is enough scholarships to educate you? Nope. Now there is too much demand for private school education and so little to go around, the high price causes you to become uneducated. Go work in the factory boy. Or the fields, the fields are great too. Lack of education makes it hard for you to see what kind of shitty shenanigans are getting pulled in your name, the mass media mind controls you.
Law Enforcement: now nobody is preventing anyone from stealing your hard earned dollars. Mugged? Oh well suck it up bitch there's nobody to call. Robbed? Suck it up or arm yourself up and watch yourself at all times. Oh and you'd better watch out for that ghetto. Now since there isn't anyone to stop crime and form a deterrent you have to watch yourself at all times and keep yourself armed. Very stressful. Someone comes in your house and rapes your family? Nobody is going to help you track them down and bring justice, sucks to be you. As there is nobody to enforce laws crime is rampant.
Higher Education: Tuition is now low thanks to how few people manage to graduate high school. A new social class of the educated is formed.
Federal:
Defense: Nobody is keeping America's coast safe, and at this point, who would bother coming over. It's shit. Mexicans cross back across to Mexico and put a wall up to keep Americans out. Armed enemy forces are airdropped onto American soil, no armed forced but rather a militia of farmers and factory workers putting up a shoddy defense. They are no match for the career soldiers of the enemy forces. Now you're forced to assimilate into their culture. Enemy nations fire nukes at a now defenseless nation. Like shooting a duckling with a nuke.
Healthcare: Shoddy healthcare as few healthcare practitioners managed to graduate. Quality healthcare is only available to the rich and educated. You better not get hurt!
Higher Education: Now once again available only to the wealthy. No way for you to advance socially through your own merit. Essentially a caste system is instituted where social mobility is nonexistent.
I can go on and on. Point is you need to be thankful that taxes exist and you need to be pushing that the existing taxes are spent properly. Pointless war in the middle east does not qualify as properly. Without education you'd be like "um ok, as long as it's to bring freedom" instead of "why are they taking so long to bring freedom, and why are moderate rebels(heh right) getting armed."
Now I will take a moment to explain why higher taxes benefits YOU:
Cheap and wide availability of higher education: Now you'll know how much the government is fucking you over like a cheap whore. Social mobility into the higher classes. You can make your own wealth. An educated populace is hard to control and the government's worst nightmare.
Healthcare: Now you'll have access to cheap healthcare and won't break the bank if you're sick. You're already paying for socialized healthcare, but you aren't receiving the benefits. Seriously, look at how much is getting paid towards that mess and how much you're getting out of it.
Increased education will bring about a new technological future. Tech you cant even imagine now will exist in the future and socialism goes hand in hand with capitalism.
More effective police force: The current police force is over militarized and ineffective. If you had better education you'd see how much you're getting fucked in taxes and how the police force could use a little reshaping.

Again: If I buy you something with money I forced you to give me, that's theft. Hell, I could return your money a month later with 10% interest. Unless you voluntarily consented to give me the money without any threat of force, it's still theft.
Taking something that belongs to someone else, by force or threat of force, is theft, by definition, period. Taxes aren't a special exception to the definition of theft.
Whether this form of theft is necessary, unavoidable, beneficial, etc. is a separate discussion.
