Roads are paid for with gas taxes, something that is hard to avoid if you drive. Public schools and libraries are supported by property taxes, again, something all residents pay. Income taxes primarily go to the federal government to pay for military bases abroad, wars, and a lot of other functions that either aren't needed or could be better done by non-government entities.
