Our inability to change everything should not stop us from changing what we can.
I can't think of how roads, schools, public parks ... would be funded without taxes.

I live in a state with no income tax but a sales tax. Now many would argue that a sales tax disproportionately effects the poor - and I suppose if one is a poor consumer this is true - but the tax is entirely avoidable. I can choose to avoid this tax by not purchasing taxed goods. I think the same can be said about tariffs on goods - which we as a nation have been working to utterly obliterate in the name of free trade (and who is footing that tax burden now?)

1) Money - do we privatize money as well? How would that work? Would that work? The government is currently the only power who can lawfully print money (and lets not start talking about the Fed at the moment... talk about ulcers...)

For thousands of years money was privatized, If you read into the history of money it turns out that it isn't a construct of a government body but a need fulfillment by the free market! The free market saw that direct bartering wasn't a super efficient way to do trade so money became popular as a way of getting the goods you would need! Gold, Silver, Copper were all decentralized forms of currency that had no government control for a long time until banks became popular and eventually so did goverments!

For thousands of years the quality and consistency of coinage has been a function of centralized minting.

I agree that during the roman time period due to the lack of interconnective communications that we have today it would be difficult to have a large ammount of private mints stamping coins. However today there are all sorts of trusted private mints http://www.fleur-de-coin.com/links/mints/-1 that produce silver and gold coins to a very high quality and recognizably and if money was to be privatized that would be one way to go. I also believe that there would be more private companies that would do quality assurance of these monies to make sure they were being fairly minted and were of a high quality (think consumer report).
