My conscience tells me not to squander resources given in trust. I don't mind paying taxes for things that benefit me indirectly--national defense, regulating trade, ensuring safety and security at home.

...is it remotely conceivable that you may directly or 'indirectly' benefit from being surrounded by a healthy, stable, well educated population? What's that worth? A pay-to-play system will NEVER provide this. Your system requires bloated military and prison industrial complexes in order to maintain function --What do these costs subtract from your personal 'bottom-line'.
Wealth and social inequality have burdensome costs. I'm personally not interested in bearing those costs -- they infringe on my personal 'freedom'.
