First, at least at the federal level, we have to dump the concept that taxation is about revenue. It isn’t. The federal government could just print more money - creating an implicit tax on everyone through inflation and get by perfectly well. Taxation is about control. For every dollar the government takes from you, it takes away the freedom to spend that dollar as you wish. You lose a little bit of liberty with each tax dollar taken.
