$95 photography classes in the national parks (I paid this one), $25 entrance fees to national parks, DMV car registration fees, vanity license plates, there are 'products and services that the government can charge for to reduce their operating expenses and provide jobs that come from these fees.

They've been doing that for years, toll rads were supposed to raise funds for the work on those roads. Private prisons to take the burden off gov't having to feed and care for the prisoners. Seems even though those monies are directed to go to certain projects by law, they don't always.
I like the idea of privatizing SOME programs like parks should have maintenance costs, canoing, camping and so on, state or federal.
Find ways to bring in new revenue, since you (those in govt) refuse to raise taxes, educational standards but will give oil and the rich hefty taxe breaks.
