OK, how about this: I pay zero taxes in my lifetime, and then government can take 25% of the estate after I die. What do you think of that?

- HDThoreaun 3y agoI think income taxes should be zero. The government should be funded mainly from land value tax, since land belongs to society as a whole and not some individual who was passed it by someone who never had the right to claim it in the first place. VAT and Pigouvian taxes are good options too. In the end the government has to be funded somehow, the only question is how? Taking money from those who did not earn it seems the best option to me.
