Indeed. Taxes suck, bad for trade. But we need some or all spending is by the individual which kind of destroys societies (some services are best provided by-all for-all). No since we need to have taxes,why not tax the "unwholesome" instead of the "wholesome". I mean, nowadays income-from-labour and houses are taxed a lot; they seem pretty essential... Why not tax pollution instead? The market would reward sustainability instead of "easy money by maximizing on the near-free polution". Actually I think it is backwards that we tax wholesome behavior so much; much more than pollution.
