I think most would stop bitching about taxes when you get medical bills and other "beneficial and necessary" social services paid for.
This is the "just take this money and shut up" argument. While taking benefit from stolen money is satisfying in the short term, it has the disadvantage of capital miss-allocation, which is a fancy way of saying that you're destroying future growth. As Keynes said (paraphrasing), "who gives a shit once I'm dead" but some of us do give a shit.
