- mikeash 10y agoPerhaps, but I bet other problems could be found. My general point is that while I'm sure a lot of the complexity is unnecessary, a decent amount of it is there for a good reason.
- ricksplat 10y agoI know, but playing along with the thought experiment, how do you account for things like VAT and service-specific levies? Property, income, inheritance, capital gains - all relate to the acquisition of value, so they fit the model in a distal sense.
