I'm of the opinion that taxes are unnecessary in a state (meaning something closer to culture-civilization, i.e. taking "state" as far more than just government, at the least including private banks) were money is created by fiat and debt.
I think this because, as far as I'm able to understand, the fiat currency system is a kind of "infinite money machine" (or something like it) which makes a certain high-enough level of government free from requiring being funded by taxes.
this occurred to me after reading a bit about the book "how to pay for the war on terror". and I also recall reading how the USA government has been steadily de-funding the IRS, which would make no sense under the notion that taxes are necessary to fund the government.
