That being said, if they are going to tax us, why not put it to good use.
We pay for police protection, fire protection, education, defense, etc;

The issue is that we have been tricked into believing that subsidizing the individual needs of some groups of people is an analogous category of public spending as defense and fire protection. It isn't. Social programs are not in the interest of the general public, but in the interest of special interest groups. It is actually a disservice to the groups that it enslaves in a virtually inescapable cycle of dependency.
The bureaucracies that administer the programs quickly become cancerous, making conscious effort to continually expand their budgets, regardless of the true measure of need in their area.
