Actually, I don't think taxes would necessarily violate a separation, if the taxes were not attempting to manipulate the economy by favoring this or punishing that. A single-rate income tax, sales taxes, property taxes, and the like could effectively be "economy-neutral", that is neither benefiting some unfairly nor being an excessive drag. The big problem is with government regulation.
