• A social safety net which feeds, clothes, houses and provides medical care to anybody under 18, over 70, or disabled, and guarantees, at a minimum, health insurance or equivalent to other people who might want to do things like start a small business.

Things for which I am not willing to pay taxes

• A standing military
• Investigation and prosecution of victimless crimes, or crimes where all the victims have willingly consented (I’m looking at you, War on Drugs.  Also, some prostitution)
• Your religion.  Any of it.  Any decisions based on it.  Any whinging about how persecuted you are as a consequence of it.
• Rescuing companies that thrive on an unfettered free market from bankruptcy
• Restoration of American Glory/Exceptionalism/Greatness.
