Sometimes there's only a single tax allowed. Like in the US the federal government can only tax income unless they change the constitution.
LVT as the single tax would be much harder to repeal.
- sokoloff 2y agoThis is close to, but not entirely, true. The US federal government also has the power to levy direct capitation taxes (taxes that are effectively constant per-person without regard to any other factors). In practice, those taxes are impractically regressive, but the federal government does have that power under the Constitution.
