So what, solve it by creating a sales tax on the blockchain? I can't imagine that would be adopted - how would you prove that any taxes on any one transaction is due to a specific authority?
Taxes are good, but I think that the "centralized" solution for taxing, (having a separate process, that is all defined and enforced by government) is a terrible solution that has proven ineffective, unfair, and inaccurate. Public commons like taxes need to have an equivalent smart contract and once you have mass acceptance of these tokens, people will have no choice but to pay taxes with any and every transaction, and all of the pain the current centralized IRS feels crypto has, will be irrelevant.
