Who takes more of your money to provide protection from not paying your tax? Mafia or government?

Is that the vital distinction between mafia and government for you?

For me, if taxes are used for the society as a whole and not pocketed by a small elite, I'm totally ok to pay them.

But the higher the taxes, the better the quality of the services/infrastructures I expect.
