I disagree. Taxes are good (I'm from Europe), and most of our governments are good as well; they give us security (police), fire safety, health insurance (emergency services and hospitals), education (most of it is public in Europe), infrastructure (roads, ...), regulation (of the food we eat, ...). Most of it is good, and I used it, and I want to use it in the future.
The bad part of the government is very small (but getting bigger). I think it needs to be eradicated politically, and I'm certain it will happen very soon (i.e. when the older generation that doesn't understand computers retires or dies).
Note how you say "they give us". It's not true. They don't give you anything. They take money from you in the form of taxes (and, mind you, take them with the threat of force towards those who, for example, dislike the services and do not wish to pay) and then pay other people to provide you with products and services. So government is a middleman, but a special kind of: it decides what you want. If you don't like something a government does, you still have to pay.
Stop and ask yourself. If government is effectively gone tomorrow, would the demand for protection, fire safety, health insurance, education, infrastructure and safety net for the poor be gone too? Of course not! And if the demand is not gone, then wouldn't you simply have those things offered on the market?
