Indeed, yet it holds these concepts hostage whenever someone suggests we eliminate entire classes of taxes.
The truth is the tax system has two primary objectives:
1) to prevent upper middle class from the type of long term wealth accumulation that allows the plebs to enter (and challenge) the elite
2) To fund a hyper scale bureaucracy that constantly seeks the lower bound on the efficiency curve
