Taxes pay for public services and infrastructure like freeways, public parks, public health services, public transportation, public broadcasting like Sesame Street, scientific research, food and water quality maintenance, police, fire department, military, border control, customs services - all kinds of things we all take for granted.
If you taught everyone today how to pay zero tax, who would pay for all that?
Paying one's fair share of tax for all those things is NOT a bad thing.
What's bad is that the taxes are being used to stealthily line the pockets of opportunistic and greedy capitalists instead of being used to fund the intended services, so the services suffer.
