EXACTLY. If you want all the taxes, make laws that exact all the taxes: don't just make laws that exacts some of the taxes, and then whine when people find ways to obey it that don't result in as much revenue as you'd like. Only don't be surprised when people respond to the tax by changing their behavior (possibly by moving their operations outside of your jurisdiction). Oh, and another thing. Could we begin to assume that when you make money, it's your money first, and that (absent actual lawbreaking) it's not some sort of theft from the Glorious People's Republic if you actually keep it instead of giving it to Fearless Leader and his bureaucracy to distribute? Yeah I know, bridge too far, but a body can dream...
