Not at all. I'm saying if your reason for favoring multiple taxes is to ensure no one dodges all of them, you're barking up the wrong tree. First, this is a dubious goal -- why should the primary objective be to "catch" everybody? Second, if we go by a measure like "percentage of expected tax revenues dodged," a single land value tax would be far preferable to today's messy tax system. (Consider the number of loopholes exploited today and the danger of avoiding a strict land value tax.)
