Inefficiency is absolutely the issue because no matter the form of tax generation the government will continue to spend everything it gets (or more likely beyond what it gets).
The government continually renews virtually every program it has started over the last several decades whether they are working or not. In most cases people can't even point to evidence that they are working. Instead they make claims about "cutting spending" while in reality all they're doing is cutting the rate of increased spending.
If you guys prefer to contribute more and more to the system with no push for improvement, more power to you. I prefer to push for value and efficiency in our government over the mentality of "just take more from the rich".
