Because unless you never use government built infrastructure, contributing back to society is kind of your duty.
I live in France, my employer pays my raw salary in taxes, and approximately 30% of this raw salary that I get is paid in taxes too. And I am happy to pay those because it contributes to a system that gives me and everyone free healthcare, unemployment benefits if needed as well as many other things. If you're unhappy with the 40% you pay to your government, ask to fix inefficiencies, not to stop paying them.
