There really is not an objective criteria to find who is and it’s not an artist. The proposed system makes a purely political decision out of who sits at a desk

There really is not an objective criteria to find who is and it’s not an artist. The proposed system makes a purely political decision out of who sits at a desk doing unsatisfying but necessary tasks, and who gets to sit at home and smoke dope all day and put out a painting or a song twice a year. Not very fair to the tax donkey fixing the plumbing.
- kiba 8mo agoDon't tax labor, or capital which helps assist labor with performing economic activity ,or at least tax as little as possible. Instead, focus on taxing scarce resources, especially since we cannot make more of it. If it's natural resources coming out of the grounds such as minerals and oil, it becomes a severance tax. If we're talking about occupying land, then it's a Land Value Tax. You could also tax negative externalities like pollution or traffic congestion.This is known as a Piguovian tax.
