Well I love the idea but I presume to pay for local police, fire, schools, well, the money has to come from somewhere. I certainly don’t want it all federalized.

It depends on where you are. We pay a lot of property tax and have no local law enforecement, a private subscription fire service, one elementary school that costs over $12,000 per student. The sum total of services we get for our taxes is a dumpster 18 miles from the house. I figure it costs us about a hundred bucks a sack to toss our trash.
