How do people feel about the fair tax or a flat tax rate? In exchange we could pay for government services with user fees such as toll roads, tariffs, raising the price of stamps, and other things.
It depends what you mean by "fair tax". "Fair taxes" are VAT's and therefore regressive as hell. A flat tax is fair but impractical as the poors can't really afford to pay the required %'s. Some progressive taxation is required IMO if there is going to be a functioning welfare state, even if you are going down the "punish the rich" route.
