"I pay more tax than most people, yet I use fewer government resources than most."

I'm interested in how you define that. If you are an employer or have to ship any physical goods then the government is subsidizing the wages you pay and the costs of your business with transportation infrastructure. If your income is from a more intellectual basis, you still rely on contractual law, copyright protections and the whole legal apparatus that comes with it. Similarly, you are most likely receiving a disproportionate benefit from the police and fire departments.
