THE THEORY OF A GOOD TAX
THE TAX:

Tax to cost as little as possible for collection
GROSS RECEIPTS

Employs no social engineering, which impairs the freedom to choose (ends weaponized taxes)
The tax is included in the price
Hard to avoid – easy to collect
All of it gets added on to the price and paid by the consumer; consumer is paying for privilege of having the good or service available
