Low Information Voter on Nostr: I strongly disagree on the desirability of a "full income tax" being preferable to ...
I strongly disagree on the desirability of a "full income tax" being preferable to anything. Income tax is the most intrusive of the taxes, and the strongest disincentive to productivity.
When State bureacracies were weaker and less pervasive, they didn't charge income tax because they couldn't.
Bitcoin circular economies, if established, will make income tax collection hard again. Governments will lean back into easier-to-collect taxes. I'd like to put a stop to that, too, but one marathon at a time...
