There are certainly some advantages, but you're right. In the whole, modern life is better than caveman life.
Caveman advantages:
No taxes, as you noted
Rape with impunity, as you noted
Lots of time outdoors
Probably pretty much your own boss
I bet the scenery and environment was quite nice
Food is always fresh
Caveman disadvantages:
Broken bones mean a life of extreme pain
Life expectancy under 40
Sometimes you get dinner, sometimes you are dinner
Women don't shave anywhere
No fingernail clippers
No desserts, ever
Ice age weather without ice age clothing
Limited opportunities for leisure travel
Probably more that I'm not thinking of.
