The three worst taxes are income taxes (spy and control), property taxes (rent payment for your own property), and inheritance taxes (pilfering those who can't take care of their dependents. Also double taxation.).

I don't like any taxes, but if we moved all taxes to sales taxes and required that every receipt showed how much money was taken by each taxing authority, there would be a much smaller compliance cost and people would realize how much was being stolen from them.  They would be reminded every time they bought something and would be more likely to complain.  You could also avoid/reduce taxes by working to produce your own stuff.

Of course those who live by stealing our stuff don't want this.  They want to nickel and dime us to death and hide how much they are really stealing.
