I don't really have the energy for this: Seattle 2.0 Guest Blogger on Proposed Tax Changes

If there's a weaker argument about not paying taxes than "It's my money, I earned it" then I've yet to hear it.

The most charitable thing I can think of is that many people have completely lost the connection between "taxes I pay" and "services the government supplies me" like roads, police, fire, etc. Those things "just happen" to them and as far as they know, they don't actually cost anything at all because they don't hand over money to use them at the point of service. Only things paid at the point of service are real to them.
