what is your take on Healthcare & social services, civil infrastructure, state pensions, law & order upkeeping in your country? IF their quality, and of other facilities, is beyond your needs then sure you have a right to ask government to cut taxes and bring the standard down to meet a standard which is sustainable within the taxes you want to pay. The point is you can't have best of both worlds. If you want best facilities then be ready to pay higher taxes. Expending on war MAY BE an issue for USA & UK tax payers, but I don't think Australia is expending huge amounts of money and resources on wars in Afghanistan & Middle East.
I would also like lower taxes but not at the cost of my services. One thing I would like to is greater accountability by the government officials when spending OUR money. A lot of times they're not spending it responsibly. Every so often I hear about a scandal of some government officials getting caught for spending on something ridiculous like a $1000 bottle of wine for lunch and spending tax money for their personal things.
