I see you have a bottomless appetite for taxing more and lots of imagination on how to do so. Do you have any answers on how that taxed money will be spent? How we can ensure that it's not just lining the pockets of the politicians and bureaucrats in charge of disbursing the money? How we measure the successes and failures of any taxpayer-funded program, so that we can be reasonably confident that the money is being put to good use? How all of this would play out over generations, knowing that the less money (and therefore power) the people have and the more money (and therefore power) the politicians have, the more likely it is that we will slip into authoritarianism?
