you make some assumptions.
think outside the box.
suppose we are not 'helped' by government but rather held back (regulations don't you know)
suppose that our degree of economic advancement is not BECAUSE of government but rather in spite of it.
Roads?
Why do we need roads?
Back in the day Autogyros, private planes, AirShips and other forms of aviation were..
...pretty much brought to a stop by the FAA...
wonder why that happened?
The Navy would do an adequate job of defending our shores...what other purpose does the military have?
I don't want the war to be on my shore. I want. I don't want china to decide they have the numbers, and they will eventually overpower our navy, and with nothing else to stop them, take our country. We need better trains, better roads. We used to be a country of goods. We used to manufacture. If we had better roads and trains, the cost of moving raw materials and finished products would all go down. This would make the US more competitive with our overseas competition. If we can bring down the cost of energy, we will reduce the input costs of all of this countries manufacturing. It will also bring down the cost of living for all americans (and the um other residents). This will improve the quality of lives, allow for more money to be spent on healthier foods, vacations, eating out etc. which all bring down other costs. If investments are done right, in this scenario led by the Feds and hopefully taken over by private firms at least for energy, we will improve so much in this country. This should all lead to lower taxes as the government could reduce snap due to reduced costs of food, reduce their costs for healthcare, reduce their unemployment and welfare as more workers would be needed to manufacture, work in the restaurants we could afford to eat in again, and staff the hotels and bars for our vacations.
We both wish for the end of or at least a great reduction in taxes, however I look at the path to get from here to there. To ask for an immediate end is like asking for world peace.

I will have to research that. But that wont move my family hundreds or thousands of miles like my car does to visit family and take vacations. Unless you are thinking about the failed experiment in califirnia.
