Small costs, fees, surcharges and taxes on a million little things add up and it is sneaky, evil way to drain the taxpayer.
A single tax, on one easily trackable and observable thing, is far better. It makes financial planning easier and prevents much grift, gouging and criminal mischief.

Conservatives simply demand to be persuaded.
A nation without liberals is DULL. A nation without conservatives is DOOMED.
I do not believe conservatives are less altruistic - they're just less quick to embrace change. They want what's good and right; they just want I's dotted and T's crossed before they sign on the dotted line.
