Pretty much. This claim that without taxes life would be better is easily disproved if you ever visit Jerusalem. Since city is split to West and East Jerusalem, West being capital of Israel, East being capital of Palestine. Israeli people pay taxes while Palestinians don't. Walking from one side of the city to the other feels like traveling through time. West side is clean, with watered lawns and nice gardens, public transport and other amenities. Eastern side, time has stopped. Locations I've provided are less than 1km apart but feel like two different countries. Of course, exact comparison is not really possible but public services matter.
