Thurston County just had a vote for a levy for schools. I voted no, and had a long discussion about taxes with my wife. I want to affirm that I will never vote for taxes in any form.
This also brought up some practical discussions about how things like police, fire, schools and other services should be operated. I intend to learn more about these issues

Either most people want the service and are therefore willing to voluntarily pay for it, or many people don't want the service and thus presumably should not be forced to pay for/use the service.
In either case, funding such services via taxation brings violence and inefficiency into a voluntary interaction or forces people to pay for things they don't actually want -- or likely some combination of the two.
