- samstave 5y agoSo... wouldnt that mean that there should be a government MAXIMUM amount of taxes that can be collected? Why are their taxes on every single transaction?
- krastanov 5y agoBecause taxes are necessary and we just make up a rule that works in practice. This is not "foundations of logic", it is just "where can I shoehorn a tax so I can fund the public services and the military". It does not need to make sense when put in weird hypothetical made up edge cases.
