There is nothing wrong with shrinking government or taxes. The problem is that those who say they want to do so only want to shrink the bits they want to shrink.
Usually the military is not on that list, to give an example. Often they don't want the government services they use to be reduced... but they want the taxes that pay for them reduced. An example of this is the interstate highway system and the federal gas tax, which has not been raised in 21 years. But these are the first people to complain that the roads aren't being properly maintained by the government.
