Well, you just go with Sales Tax instead, which would screw the poor and favor the rich, unless you have some prebate like "the Fair Tax".
That said, there is far too much police enforcement costs, especially with the ridiculous amounts of OT they pull in. It is the worst when you have officers before they retire pull in so much OT so their retirement pension is so far above and beyond what the average person gets at the taxpayers expense. In suburban areas, the cops are far too often there for generating revenue for the town. Instead of protecting and serving the public good, they are serving the gov't bureaucracy by stomping on the taxpayer for minor infractions or made up ones.
Hell I had Monroe County Sheriffs pull me over for picking up my boss from the Rochester Airport, they pull me over with 4 cars for 2 of us, and they give me a ticket for "blowing a stop sign". 2 cruisers proceeded to tail me from the Airport back to Brockport. Moral of the story, police will make up something to give you a ticket and harass you if they think you can't do anything about it. Oh yeah, a couple officers were suspended because my boss had her video camera on for the duration of them stalking me for 20 miles.
