Taxation in the fiat CB/MMT era stops being a means to fill public coffers and becomes primarily a means to artificially suppress demand. You tax someone not to raise your funds, but to decrease their spending power. If you need to fill the public coffers, just ask the CB!

They should be eradicated and replaced by a much simpler and more automated digital accounting system. No, this doesn't have anything to do with the virtual beanie babies known as cryptocurrency.
