   @MostlyHarmless at some moment, there was a (rather theoretical) discussion about completely replacing income tax with only VAT… I wonder if it would work IRL

     Flat tax on wealth only.

     Foroat people, their debt is at least as big as their house and there would be hardly anything to tax?

     Any civilized country takes care of their disabled. Just don't get disabled in a fascist country, would be my advice.

     @janneke @babaq @MostlyHarmless if you became disabled youd lose your house in a matter of years. It’s where most people’s wealth is stored, it’s your most valuable asset. Retires would be hit hard as well. If you carve an exemption for homes youd get mega mansions by the rich to avoid taxes again. They’d buy up entire counties with sprawling complex’s. It’s going to take effort.
