"My point was that some taxation is based on usage, so charging those using the utility would make sense"

Thats literally the opposite of how taxes work. What you are describing is called charging the customer.

Taxes are paid independant of usage, my taxes pay for schools wven if I dont have kids. Someone with 10 kids but less income pays less taxes for schools.

"Taxes are paid independant of usage"

False.

That's only one example of a tax. How about gas taxes to pay for the roads they use?
