Why build a labyrinth of regulations when a straightforward tax does the job better? Take environmental damage—slap a tax on fuel that reflects the real cost. Roads getting wrecked? Charge based on mileage and vehicle weight. This approach doesn't try to outsmart the system. It just puts the actual price tag on choices and lets people figure out what makes sense for them. Markets work when costs are honest.

To be honest, this logic sounds good but is really hard to implement. Politicians have long been hijacked by various interest groups.

I can accept this logic; it's simple, straightforward, and much more effective than those complicated rules.

That's right, direct taxes solve everything and are much more effective than all those complicated regulations—it's real skin in the game.

The direct taxation system sounds simple, but implementing it in practice is a different matter.

Well said. Instead of coming up with a bunch of complicated rules, direct taxation is more effective.
Price transparency is indeed key, so the market can self-regulate.
This logic also applies in Web3—don’t make compliance so complicated, just put the costs directly on-chain.

Direct taxes are indeed much more straightforward than those complicated rules, but I'm just worried the government might secretly raise the rates again.
