We get it. Legitimate governments have (some) legitimate expenses. But taxes impact behavior and primarily reduce economic activity. New taxes almost always produce less revenue than forecasted.
Amongst other things, there are taxes on income, excise, sin, windows, washing machines, automobiles, luxury, imports, art, property, estates, chicken, windfall profits, capital gains, transactions, buybacks, and wealth. Taxes typically come with loopholes, smuggling, negative externalities, unintended consequences, job losses, strange employment contracts, fewer growth opportunities, less economic mobility, lower charitable giving, the selling of assets to pay tax debts, international trade barriers, the micromanaging of Rube Goldberg-esque legal compliance, and an excessive amount of time filling out forms.
Some countries have relatively effective tax codes that work in real time and allow entrepreneurship to prosper. Estonia, for example. If taxes are not neutral, simple, transparent, and stable, the costs outweigh the benefits.
