Modern economies cannot function without fiat money, fiat credit, and some varia

Modern economies cannot function without fiat money, fiat credit, and some variation on income taxes – which are, in reality, government commissions on creating the rule of law necessary for complex commercial production distribution and trade.

Would a flat tax be better with a much higher income required for reporting? Probably. There is no need to tax most of the working classes who produce something on the order of 3% of revenues.
