Pay your taxes without complaint. Be a citizen.
Unless the government is grossly corrupt or incompetent, you generally get what you pay for. If you live in a giant city you require more services and more infrastructure. If you live in a rural area in which people must be more self-reliant and opportunities are few, then your taxes and cost of living can be low.

As a non-smoker and a near-non-drinker I might find ultra-conservative Utah a better bargain for taxes and public services than Kentucky, which pays more for public health because of the heavy smoking. Parks and recreation -- or medical treatment for cancerweed users?
My lungs and my liver might suggest that I am a Mormon.
