Unironically...

Abolish all public welfare programs and gov't loans, and cut military by at least 50%. With the surplus of those funds, issue a UBI (about $25k/yr per "taxpayer"). If you haven't filed taxes, you don't get it the 1st year and must wait until the next year to apply.

Simplify tax code to a small (<5%) national VAT on all services and purchases other than food, housing, and utilities. A flat 10% income tax for any wages in excess of $25k (with no loopholes, exceptions, or deductions for kids, mileage, depreciation, etc). And then also a 2.5% tax on any investment gains realized in that year (stocks, crypto, real estate, artwork, etc - no deductions for losses).

That would generate roughly the same tax revenue we currently have while decreasing expenditures. Gibs quality of theft would dramatically decrease though.

to clarify, no realizing losses just to deduct from income. Total tax due on investments would be 2.5% of the total gains realized that year above initial principal (if two stocks were sold, and stock A gained 400, while stock B lost 450, tax bill due would be 0 for the investments category).

The biggest problem will be coordinating the change of the weather with the tech, since some countries would want a warmer climate and others a colder one etc. This is referred to as geoengineering btw.

The butthurt over Biden (allegedly) stealing the election seems like a great way to start a tax resistance movement that could actually work. For those that believe the election was stolen, it's not a hard sell to convince them that an illegal government doesn't deserve taxes. Again, it doesn't matter whether this is actually true, the important thing is that a big enough chunk of the people believe it that the government can't put them all in jail if they don't pay taxes.

why wouldn't this be the case? societies are fundamentally built on trusting people you don't know to work in harmony with or at the bare minimum not completely screw each other. when you have a government that literally hates its own citizens and is doing everything in its power to replace them, why would any of the would-be-replaced believe anything coming out of that government or related entities?

That inevidably leads to the same conclusion. Less wealth. Wealth isn't derived from the government or taxes or infrasctructure or any of that. Wealth is derived from people actually working hard somewhere in the chain of events or capitalizing on resources that actually produce value. America is on a decline not because of its monetary system, but because the literal value of the land and its people is in decline. China and large corporations are taking over, because they produce more real value.

Your logic is confusing. Yes, a freer market with less taxes, less regulations, and more market activity and productivity is going to produce more wealth. Taxation and inflation are just moving bills around. Regardless, taxes take money out of our pockets.

Your way of thinking only works in the old system, when our currencies were actually backed by something scarse like gold. Now we actually have to make the currency scarse ourselves to prevent it from losing value, the best way to make it scarse is through taxation. Then redistribution at a slightly higher rate through government spending (about 2%) So my argument is that it is not theft.
