Is there really anything such as a good tax?

Well, there are taxes that are less fair and more outrageous - therefore, the logically must be taxes that are at least more fair and less outrageous.

But good taxes, no....

Now some user fees I like because they cut consumption of government services that people will overuse if they are "free."

Like if a $5 fee to use the emergancy room for a non-emergancy at a public hospital cuts usage by 40% then thats a good user fee.
