Or, maybe a domestic version of the Peace Corps. People can serve immediately after high school. Every year served earns you a year of tuition at any public university (or that proportional amount at a private university).

I'm sure it would go about like it does for property taxes when the bank note is paid off and the tax isn't getting put in escrow anymore... There'll be a lot of people in arrears for as long as they can be before they get squeezed.
Your point re changing the psychology of taxes is good. People need to understand how much tax money is being deducted. The focus is on refunds when it should be on unjust taxes misspent. That said, compliance issues abound and there's prob an easier way to do this without them.
