They should be on the consumption of goods and services, not savings or income. Why pay taxes if you consume nothing?

Do you breathe fresh air, walk or drive on a street, live somewhere without rampant infectious disease, not have to fend off roving bands of thieves (or invading pirates), etc? You can't not consume nothing. The conditions which our nation cultivates to lengthen your lifespan require taxation independent of your consumption.
So, every road a toll road? Metered ventilators on every citizen? Hmm?
