There are plenty of people who don't want to have to engage with or pay the government, and many of them are conservatives, but that is not what makes them conservatives, even if they sometimes say things like that. Conservatives are no more upset by paying their taxes than lefties are.
That has little or nothing to do with the nation's fractures, which were around well before 2008.

Yes, I'm sure racial and gender bias (to pick two problems) would just go away if you paid people to stop thinking that way.
