Revenue options -- Voices for Children has a good white paper

Some interesting ones include a new single family home construction fee of $1,000 or so, because new single family homes generally means new kids and that means new schools; capping or means-testing all of the tax breaks that currently flow to the wealthiest of us and the big kahuna (sp?) taxing services purchased by households.
