This Country actually flourished BEFORE they started to tax. Grassroots as people like to call it is how things really get done. It used to be if the local people wanted a road, they would get together and build a quality road. Most of the local bridges here were built way before "the Gov't" started building bridges. They are strong as ever and the cement is really hard to cut. And when we the people do it, it gets done in months not years. Before taxes we the people could afford to help much easier, and their money went where they wanted it to.
I have a property that is on a private road, everyone that has property along that road is responsible for upkeep. We get together every few years and last time it was $500 for two truckloads of lower dust gravel. Then its funny because the ladies are the first to go out and start raking the gravel out. My Mom helped when she was 80. Even the laziest men got up and helped, about 50 people had it beautiful in about a half hour.
