Default Re: Another aspect of the flat tax...

Not when it comes to police, or local roads, sure you could turn all major highways into toll roads, but do you want to pay a toll to leave your own driveway? Or have to consider the total in your bank account before you call the cops about being mugged? (the total which is now less since being mugged)

For many things it would be easier, and by dropping the Fed involvement down to what was origionaly intended we could afford it again. It is the welfare (of more than just individuals) and 'pork' that keeps the budget so high.
