Yo I see your point but that simply logically doesn't work. You can't get taxed for a service that you don't provide, so just set your rate to infinity.
- 2038AD 6y agoIf you can set the price of everything to infinity then the entire concept is useless. The point is to make transactions mandatory otherwise all you've done is created a sales tax. That was my point about loopholes. (I'm not saying I like sales taxes either.)
- FeepingCreature 6y agoThere's a difference between taxing property and taxing the capability to do a service - and it's that nobody is interested in doing the latter, because it's nonsensical. This would make sense in a world where skills themselves were commodities that could be straightforwardly bought and sold...? But I think such a world would have a very different take on prostitution.
