A tax would be better then paying renewal fees of $100.00 + to renew a dumb domain name you work hard to promote.
Speak for yourself, as I'm certain 99.99% of folks would mind an extra 4% in taxes. Most folks already pay a large amount in taxes, and don't need any more.

Plus, if you don't mind paying 4% taxes, nothing is stopping you from volunteering 4% of your income to ICANN or VeriSign. Go right ahead. I'm not about to fund more ICANN travel junkets, or executive pay increases:

or prop up VeriSign shareholders who are already making a killing (under a competitive tender process like most government contracts, .com fees would be $2/yr, not nearly $7 and rising).
