Income? are they destroying income (don't answer, rhetorical question!)
Commerce? (sales tax)
Productivity? (VAT taxes adding value at every level in the supply chain)
The power to tax IS the power to destroy, better that it fall equally on everyone, that no one, no person or organization can be targeted if all bear the burden equally.
No, no, no. Taxes should never be equal.
Always tax foreigners. Free the natives with tariff.
Only then, free the middle class with low tax.
Problem is Govt loves to spend, so tax type, FAIR etc, is irrelevant. You are a slave.
