RE: You mean violation of property rights, the basic and fundamental right to own property without fear of confiscation, is the only means you can think of that is viable?
I just proposed INCOME TAXES and/or SALES TAXES as the other means. I can’t think of any other. You seem to be a smart man, tell me what you think is viable other than the ones I just proposed.
user fees and tuition. No one should be forced to pay for what they don't use
No matter what your union says
With respect intended, do some more indepth thinking. Think of means for collecting taxes based on “No Taxation Without Representation” and without the need to violate the right to own property without confiscation. If you have to pay rent or else lose something you simply do not own it.
Look at road maintenance, gas taxes in most States pay for that. Use the roads then pay the gas tax. Perfectly fair.
