It is done in order to avoid turning into one of those countries that don't provide public services. Then again, you may not have heard of those places because those people rarely have a voice: they usually live in abject poverty and are frequently ruled by warlords.
I've also found that "corrupt politicians" are often more enlightened than "honest taxpayers" in such matters since they understand that certain institutions are necessary to support economic and political stability.
