   i remember reading something in my economics class that was written by someone back in the 1500s or so describing how the british empire/crown should stop trying to earn money doing assorted this-and-that and instead focus on taxation of the indigenous populations of their colonies since it is more lucrative.
   
   something to think about when it comes to taxes.

    That's just being unreasonable. There is absolutely no way you could expect our government to maintain a perpetual state of war, sustain fantasies of a cold war continuation, and maintain an ever expanding system of pervasive domestic surveillance on a measly 10% income tax. Murder, economic bullying, and spying is an expensive business.

    That's a bit ridiculous but somethingnlike that.
    
    I kinda like the idea of a wealth salary cap type deal. Like after you make 25 million or somethinf you just have to sort of sit on it, so to speak.
    
    Obviously it would be more complex than that but I mean how much money sits around as digital currency never ever being used in multiple lifetimes?
