@MostlyHarmless at some moment, there was a (rather theoretical) discussion about completely replacing income tax with only VAT… I wonder if it would work IRL

@babaq @MostlyHarmless

In America we are taxed when we get our money, when we spend our money, when we save our money (the interest is not tax free), taxed on our land, registration of our vehicles ... The only way to avoid taxes is to become rich, then you become tax exempt.

@unusnemo I believe it is the same everywhere
