If you care about your state, county and city, pay your darn taxes and quit looking for ways to dodge them. Pays for highways, schools, hospitals, fire, police, facilities you benefit from every day. Pay your share.
You left out the incredible waste of our tax dollars.

Give us your conservative estimate of % waste in government, and some examples so we understand what you think is waste.

I just love freeloading bleeding heart politicians, NOT! Most of my taxes are wasted on inflated salaries or stupid programs.
As someone who's job was funded by the taxpayers, I can assure you none of my co-workers were overpaid or engaged in stupid programs. No freeloading either.

Civil service employees are usually underpaid, the politically appointed bosses are not underpaid, I was also a civil service employee after several years in private industry.
Case in point right now NYC is hot on building bike lanes, of course NYC can't keep the roads patched to the point that you can drive without risk to your front end alignment. Cyclists do not pay registration, fuel taxes or insurance, nor do they observe traffic laws, endangering themselves and motorists, and of course if there is an accident the motorist is automatically to blame!

Actually, nobody, just think heating oil, thankfully the progress in electric cars seems to be a bright spot, but we do need more range in them, does not solve all the problems though.

These are put out by Rand Paul former congressman.
Studying sex lives of coked up quail. $874,503.00
USAID gave US tax dollars to Egypt to support tourism. as much as $18,000,000
NIH gave to study daydreaming. $2,488,153
National science foundation gave to study blowing leaf blowers at lizards. $75,691.00
And one of the biggest was Meullers almost $40,000,000.00 Russian collusion. There are so many more wastes which can be found online. Also Paul msn put examples of government waste online. It's titled "The most outrageous ways the American government is spending it's money. Not sure why they called the money theirs since it belongs to the taxpayers. Google government waste. It's an eye opener.

These all laughably insignificant vs the $4,400,000,000,000 annual Federal budget in 2019 ($4.4 trillion), as in 0.0005% for your combined cited items except Mueller's investigation that paid for itself with the felony conviction and real estate forfeiture of Paul Manafort, Campaign Chairman ... Government waste is real. I'm not saying it isn't. But, one person's vital program is another person's waste and nibbling around 0.0005% is not going to accomplish anything. You're not even a rounding error on a rounding error.
