Well, everyone consumes public infrastructure directly (driving on roads, suing someone, calling police) or indirectly (be assured of a safe investment environment for wealth building in the US vs Syria/Zimbabwe). How will you measure and tax this consumption to pay for the underlying infrastructure and labor?
- fuzzfactor 6y agoAll taxes are parasitic on the prosperity of the subjects. The least parasitic is taxing commerce. Anything else is stupid, like taxing people or property where the parasitic effect grows to be unbearable even when rates remain constant. You can't fix stupid but it can get elected to decision-making positions and leverage the foolishness.
