...indeed, it is the complexity of life that has exploded. This, because of the complexity of our thinking.
General System Theory is able in its application to define this world as it is, kind of a Catch-22, one does not exist without the other.
The manufacturer of a cell phone has a Bill of Material, two columns, to describe the monetary details of these items will be needed, rather than one; this is the difference to them.
...and as for the Tax that they are obliged to impose additionally, many factors would be involved, but whatever they are, all manufacturers would face the same criteria;
transparency will make evasion difficult, and avoidance only possible by reducing the externalities in the products they sell.
...think about the myriad of Income Tax Law, you must remain informed about to pay this tax. A tax like this allows for evasion, and avoidance, because it can be seen as unfair; what is evaded, and avoided is allusive, with nothing specific that this tax is attributable to, but, General Funds. Income Tax Law that is simple, based on a Flat Tax (between 5 and 11 percent), will encourage productivity, especially if it strictly represents the cost of Good Government. Having few deductions and credits, may reduce its effectiveness as a behavioural tool. Retirement funds, and the like may be encouraged, however, with the Governments' offering of (long-term) Medical Care, and (better) Pension/Saving Funds, with each tax season.
Eliminating the complexity of Income Tax will allow for the same government resources to be put toward a "GST" (Goods and Services Tax); with effects and affects that are measurable, and subject to change, with changing consuming habits. The Government can be seen as an "arm-length" broker, providing to consumers their actuarial skill, so that as informed consumers, they make their choices. Revenue, is offset by equal and identifiable Government Programs; their effectiveness will also be exposed, for the concerned Citizens' consideration. Improvements to them, the Programs, will be more likely, being compared to objectives that have been clearly stated as a tax rate.
Changing "Money", what it means is necessary; but as Ben Franklin once said, Death and Taxes are two things you can be sure of.
Taxes are more easily changed, i think, because changing money would require an even greater revolution of confidence and thought.
Whether money is 'Free' or not, Taxes should identify what 'it' costs, with the motive of getting 'it' done.
