Best to not collect it to begin with.
There is waste and inefficiency in the present system. I prefer
minimal federal taxation, only enough to support those things like
national defense that only the federal government can provide. I
prefer communities providing as many services, and paying for them, as
the people in those communities want. Large population states are also
inefficient. California and New York are prime examples of states with
heavy tax loads to pay for a wide array of services. Big cities suck
up most of the taxes. Modest homestead acreage in California and New
York suffers that tax bite. Taxes equal not only services for cities
but also more regulations on items of personal freedom.
