I find it fascinating that you think taxation can be generally described as "ethical" without serious qualication; what about taxation by an unethical government, like a dictatorship or a government that uses the money to murder people?
Is cash also unethical because the government doesn't have absolute surveillance on cash spending?
What the project claims is a "liberal" tool can very easily become a very unethical tool of oppression.
