There would be more jobs and more wealth and happiness for those who are willing and able to take those jobs but inevitably the people right at the bottom of the pile would suffer.
-
no protection from terrorist organizations and mostly inefficient ways of doing task. (lots of civilian stuff (like internet) actually developed from military funding)
-
Thousands of services that Americans depend on would stop working. No police, not ATC, no Army, no road repairs, no Medicare/Medicaid, most schools gone, no INS, much worse weather service, GPS gradually fails...
-
No taxes means no police, no fire, no prisons, no military, no food or drug quality enforcement, no building inspections, no roads, no sewer service, it would be chaos.
-
The good thing is that there would be no waste, no wars, no army and a lot less corruption but there would also be no infrastructure, no social or public services, no schools, in other words none of the services that are financed by tax payers money
-
Anarchy. Without taxes there is no government or law enforcement and total chaos would ensue!

We'd be back to the good old days that Republicans love so much. Private firefighter companies beating each other up for the privilege of charging people to put out their fires. Some people would hire private security, the rest would have to make do with nothing. Masses of illiterate people because only a handful would have the money to pay for education. Children would work in factories instead of course. Toll roads everywhere. Thankfully, we have a little bit of socialism in this country because if we didn't life would sure suck.

We'd be a much more Free nation, and people would be forced to help one another out. People would have to come together to help build the roads, schools, ect.

The only way it would work is that you would get a bill for legitimate government duties. Like the gas bill or water bill.
