You keep saying that, and yet you keep responding. They aren't cost effective for the consumer. Nothing the government does is cost effective. Just look at the price of a fighter plane or an aircraft carrier.Your third grade understanding of this argument is not worth my time."Cost effective" for whom?If they weren't cost effective, we wouldn't be using them, and yet we do.Coercion and bureaucracy are never ever cost effective.Taxation is coercive in nature - there's no way around it. That's why we should minimize the practice, and only use it when it's truly necessary.
It might also help in minimizing costs. Imagine, for example, paying a toll for every street that you use.
Imagine buying an annual pass (i.e. your license plate) to pay for the streets.
