I personally don’t believe this works, and that there are plenty of things history can teach us of what can work in a decentralized and presumably privatized sector, and what must remain in a public (albeit not necessarily centralized) sector. I don’t think taxes are inherently bad, but I think there’s something to be said for reducing the distance between paying the money and seeing (even if not necessarily receiving) the benefits of doing so. I think there’s a balance to be had, but I don’t think we get there with the kind of complex tax systems we have in most(?) countries today. I don’t know what such a system would look like. I just know that when Netflix came around and made streaming easier than piracy, for a reasonable amount of money, I jumped on board and never looked back. It’s a flawed analogy I know, but there’s something to be said for just making things dead pan simple and reasonable. There’ll still be people and companies trying their best to avoid taxes, but if we can reduce them juicy margins enough, maybe at some point it just isn’t worth the hassle...
