Well yes, people are generally selfish and short-sighted and so would happily pay less tax, or even no tax, and watch services crumble around them. Of course, the same people would be straight online to rant and rave and call it "a disgrace" when they actually
need one of those services and it isn't up to scratch. For example, the people complaining about tax hikes are invariably the SAME people complaining about long A&E waiting times... "wanting their cake and eating it too" is the phrase that springs to mind.
