I'd prefer to defund the federal government and focus on local/regional systems. I'm much more likely to support my neighbor and local communities over putting 20-30% of my income to be divided up in Washington, 1000s of miles away.

Perhaps a local income tax would work better? Property/land taxes can also be locally administered and skew towards those who can afford it rather than those who can't.
