I agree with the fallacy of putting too much value on the concept of "use taxes". It has to be used this way to a degree, as using more of any resource should require more contribution. (Water charges, electricity, petrol... "sales tax", etc.) But there should also be some level of contribution from more "general taxation" (such as income, inheritance, capital gains, etc.) to pay to live in a better world.
You may not have kids, but you want to contribute to pay for everyone else's kids to go to school, so we can have a more educated population, and everyone benefits.
What sort of society do you want to live in? A safer, cleaner one, that helps people be healthier, be happier? Or an "every man for himself", profit-driven approach, that hurts the poor and vulnerable, and benefits the wealthy?
