Live below your means. Stay out of debt. Work on reducing your tax base. Stop feeding the beast!
Here's another idea to stop feeding the beast. If you drink, learn to make your own beer, wine, mead, etc. As long as you don't sell it, it's perfectly legal in limited quantities, and as gifts to family, but distilling whiskey is illegal. Government makes a lot of money from taxes on alcoholic beverages, and legally avoid paying that as much as possible.

I just came across my recipe for homemade wine. It's super easy. I plan on starting a batch this weekend.
