      I can’t think of anything more spoilt and privileged than taxes being the only thing you have to whine about.

      Libertarians do tend to support the idea of negative liberty which would include ideas like freedom from compulsory taxes (that’s not to say that all libertarians are of the same opinion). To say that it is only that, however, is quite reductionist, and rather ignorant.
