I think most people would be down for paying taxes, however their main gripe, in my opinion, is that the quality of services (infrastructure, tax dollars being used for NSA spying on citizens, etc.) we're getting back for our tax dollars is dropping while taxes increase.

Yes, I agree. We should vote appropirately, organize appropriately, and fully fund the IRS to be able to go after people who aren't paying their fair share in society.

Taxes on regular people increases and the quality of services they provide decreases, precisely because of the tax-evading [0] behavior of the multinational corporations.
