The fact that you are on this forum communicating over the internet means that you have benefited from a public good, and therefore derived some benefit from taxes. We can argue about the value of things and what taxes should be, but a blanket statement like that strikes me as completely unreasonable in the modern connected world.

Just because I have received some benefit, (something which I am due since the money was taken from me) does not mean I have to agree that I am getting my money's worth or that I even have a want or need for some service I am paying for.
That's like NPR saying my $1,000 donation of a clunker car is of equal value and worth of the tote bag they sent me.
