More and more I think the relative resilience of my country welfare has to be in big part caused by the excellent tax collection system we have. Hacienda, the Spanish IRS, website works perfectly with a national digital id certificate. You can solve any issues there, but for the majority of people there is nothing to think about, you receive a draft of the anual declaration and say yes. They will even go ahead and get information directly from some actors, like casinos and big corps, about who they are paying to, so you will get those automatically reflected in your declaration, or kindly be reminded they know about it. Big companies have strict requirements, in some cases daily declaration of transactions. I can find obvious optimization flaws in every other branch of the government, but man, tax collection seems close to perfection here. Of course we could argue about this been a good or bad thing, but the engine is running perfectly tuned.
