Country. Same like a house , you need money to run it and keep it in good order. Country also needs money to stay in order order. If you dont use local roads , schools , hospitals and above all safety that govt provides through pplice and armed forces than you can make this argument . But if you benefit from any of the above than you should shut up and pay the tax.
