Unless they get the benefit of the tax, most people hate taxes. And I should add, they love the tax if they think the group receiving the benefit deserves the money.
The cost of stuff does go up from taxes. The money is not simply created out of thin air. In terms of corporate taxes, part of the cost will be born not just by consumers, but also shareholders who will now see less profit. But of course they will spend less if they get less, and for some, have less to hide in overseas tax havens.
Everyone benefits from some form of taxation. Thus, taxing for those services are good even if they are against other taxes. Roads, sewers, sidewalks, streetlights, signs, emergency responders, fire hydrants, development of rules and enforcement of those rules to protect people, police, prisons, the justice system, and the military are just a few. The largest one of these is the military. You could double public housing in this country with a 7% cut in military spending. But who wants that?
