Cars, Houses etc. are all taxed every year according to there value. I think making a 20% tax on everything would be a better way to go. 10% to the state, 10% to the government. No need for tax cuts etc. at the end of the year, no bitching about the % in you have to pay, If you want to pay less taxes, Live more modest.
Wouldn't that discourage consumption? Would that be good for a capitalist system?
