I don't reap any benefits. The level of education would have been far higher if the state did not impose an income tax and did not provide government education or social welfare payments.
Per capita wealth and GDP would be substantially higher, making for a more prosperous society.
Moreover, you can't justify imposing a debt on someone by the fact that you provided something to them without their asking for it. If I mow your lawn without you agreeing to pay me for it, I can't take you to court to demand you pay for the service on the basis that you benefited from having your lawn mowed.
Somehow you think all principles of justice and basic fairness go out the door if the holy government is the one behind the action.
