[–] minfapper@piefed.social 4 points 5 months ago (1 child) won't that still have the same effect of driving it underground though? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 1 point 5 months ago Yeah, to a certain extent. The nice things about taxes is that they can be dialed up and down for effect. Complete, tax-free deregulation would obviously be crazy. 100% tax would pretty much be a ban and drive it all underground. Somewhere between 0 and 100, there's an equilibrium point. Also, conflict of interest should be regulated. I don't need police betting on how many gunshot victims there will be today. permalink fedilink source parent
