It sort of does, though.

That's where the concept of taxes comes from. You use the services that the government provides in order to create value. As such, the government claims part of the value that you created.

Ideally, then, the government reinvests into other services that future generations will also be able to use to create value.

We can have a disagreement over how much the government should be able to claim from individuals, but I have seen very few people advocate for no taxation.
