No but we do need roads. Public utilities are also helpful if you're in a city & police & fire too. Not that we need any of them. We can go back to policing ourselves & everyone being a volunteer fireman like in the old days. We certainly don't need schools, boards of education even less and 99% of the crap the that unelected keeps saying that we need.
Heck, if they are going to be authoritarian about it, I'd like to go back to bushwhacking
If you're going to take it that far then next up on the chopping block would be the military, farmer subsidies, GI Bill, Medicare, interstates, and a lot more.
Think eggs and milk are expensive right now, dear God!
I think federal income tax is just wrong, but the idea that taxes don't really pay for anything useful is just silly.
If we really want to get rid of the income tax, we need to find alternative things to pay for all this.
Cutting out all the BS programs and subsidies is obviously step one. But are we going to go back to paying toll fees to drive every few miles? Are people really dedicated enough to pay $10+ for a gallon of milk? And considering how many Anons I've argued with here about their need for public schools, that is going to be one hell of a headache. Not sure how much money anyone here is paying in taxes, but if it comes close to paying for private school tuition, then hats off to you.
It's easy to just shake our fists and yell that it's theft, but for it to ever get done, people have to realize that these issues will have to be dealt with.
Fuck that. Our founders got it right. Duties, imposts, and excises paid for everything without a sales tax, flat tax, or income tax. A flat tax is nothing more than a prettier version of VAT.
But we need sidewalks for the kids to ride their bikes on! Spez to add the /s in case you can’t hear my sarcasm in my words…
Sidewalks in the Ukraine doesn't do it for me.

If you are to believe this " tax on gasoline pays for roads"
That works, imho but like you say "If you are to believe" they will charge it but it'll never get to the roads
1913 seems like a big jump in the lizard plans for destroying us specifically.
How many time should we be taxed on the money that was already taxed?

The Federal government charged import duties to generate revenue.
Our income taxes pay for nothing more than the interest on government debt. That's it.
9 9 9 flat tax. There I fixed it.

Well damn. You've got me convinced.
