It'd be better insofar that it would curb complaints from people who feel overtaxed. As far as working as a tax system, I don't have faith in that bringing in any money, even if the government was run impeccably and responsibly. So I'd call that a bad system because I place facts over feelings .

I think the issue could be solved by creating a form of accountability for use of the funds that goes beyond voting for representatives, but I'm not sure what that would look like.
