No less silly then you arbitrarily deciding you want to pay low taxes no matter what the real cost is.

Most of federal spending doesn't amount to "a cost to living in democracy", unless you define that as "the cost of providing whatever the representatives elected in the democracy vote for". If that's what you mean by the "cost of living in a democracy", then it doesn't provide must justification for anything. If however you mean the cost required to sustain a democratic government, then they are far less then what the federal government currently spends. Avoiding increasingly high levels of government spending and taxation isn't shortchanging society, but rather is to the benefit of society.
