You also pay registration fees every year on your car based on weight - it's not called a tax, but that's what it is.
Most things you buy - are taxed.

I agree with you. The problem is that you are trying to convince the Me People that taxes can both benefit them directly and indirectly.
There are two types of people the Me People that believe that if the services don’t Directly benefit them they should not have to pay. If they don’t have a child in school why should they have to pay school taxes (etc. to all other taxes as well). Then there are the We People. They see the benefits of education has to our society. The We People care about others. The Me People couldn’t care less if it doesn’t help them directly.
It’s sad to say, but we seem to be in period of time when the Me People have taken control and society will suffer for it. Save your breath you are trying to convince people that only care about themselves. That will not change.
