Hold on: I have to calm my shivering nerves after the intimidating meaningless jargon and threat to evaluate "the science", whether or not you actually have the ability to do so. I'm contending that you putting words in my mouth is garbage rhetoric and that you should know better. That higher tax revenue is not an absolute good; primarily because those who impose taxes are incentivized to do so via variously legal and unethical pay that diverts tax funds from their supposed intent back to these people. To the point that the supposed intent should be assumed to be often false until otherwise proven not only by funding but by results. And that the economic system in general is inherently flawed to the point that there is no solution that will satisfy most people either via trickle-down economics nor via heavy taxation. A slave system is not fixable by free markets, socialism-communism (old school if militant feudalism hidden so that low-wits can get behind it), nor by anything else. I'm not saying that I have a better solution as far as maintenance of civilization is concerned, but only that the system of money is fundamentally a people-ownership system that inherently cannot offer solutions, either, and out of which no ethical nor practical justification for high taxation is possible. Unless the goal is explicitly to create wealthier feudal lords that do absolutely nothing but to extract taxes to support themselves. Everyone should pay their taxes. No one has to accept the lie that more taxation is good taxation.
