I'd be happier if taxes were cut from the bottom up, instead of increased from the top down.

I too would be happy if I got every service the government offers for a cheaper price.

Same here, which is why I'm a proponent of market anarchism. Central planning does not have an effective price discovery mechanism, which is one reason why we've been getting much less for much more. Just look at our shitty education system or our police, which both seem to get worse and worse the more we spend on them.
Markets allow experimentation and level the playing field, whereas states ossify corporate power and centralize wealth. Not to mention, they're based on mutually beneficial transactions between consenting individuals rather than a monopoly on violence.
