I think you may be ready to agree with my concept of VOLUNTARY TAXATION ? I proposed this on a political forum a week or so ago and two days later an international corporation that makes a range of funny tasting coffees and was being criticized for arranging its tax affairs so that it avoided having to pay anything to the UK Regime voluntarily gave the UK Tax people a huge sum of money ! Voluntary taxation already exists - in the UK we have a National Lottery. It sells tickets to the gullible and optimistic and collects huge sums every week. Nobody is forced to buy a ticket, yet millions do, and some goes to winners in prizes, some is used by the company that runs it for costs and for profits. but a good percentage goes to various good causes, saving the regime from using tax payers money for them. Same goes for the taxes on booze and nicotine - none of us need to buy these unless we are addicts already, so it is largely voluntary, and the tax on them is more than double the price less tax ! If every nation made all taxes voluntary, nobody would complain about them and all the money and effort wasted in trying to collect and others trying not to have to pay would be saved and that money could be used to pay people more for working - because low wages do not make a country prosperous !
