We all know that's not all governments spend money on
"Police, fire, roads, and schools" are the things that affect and impact every US citizen most everyday, so it's fair to consider them. But of course governments spend money on other things - governments in the USA spend money on welfare (using the term in it's broadest sense), military/defense, health, national park, R&D in a variety of areas, interest payments, science, search & rescue, libraries/museums, workplace safety, courts, arts, media, and so on.
Yes, any of those can be cut before hitting basic services, but my premise hasn't changed - cutting most (if not all) of these will still result in a cost for individuals that people generally don't factor into what they perceive to be their in-pocket money in a no-tax/lower-tax world.
