If the state is going to have non-consensual sex with us, make it as painless as possible with a SIMPLE flat tax of XX % of income (even our mindless politicos can do that math), NO BREAKS, NO EXCEPTIONS EXCEPT VETERANS. 5% break for veterans, and NO tax for disabled VETERANS. NONE. 
Did YOU do your duty or do you not care?
So simple, but unlikely because politicians will not be able to worm their way out of paying.
