No. All levels of governments in the United States spend somewhere around 14 trillion though so we need to look into raising some kind of tax to cover that or make significant cuts or probably more likely both.
In my opinion a Land Value Tax is the simplest way to raise the most money in the least bad manner and using back of the napkin math, even if it is an order of magnitude off, seems to have the possibility of raising a significant amount of that money while on the surface not being onerous to the average person.
Certainly the reality is that the vast majority of private land use is for agricultural purposes and would need to have special considerations with regards to a Land tax to avoid destroying that industry.
