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?

Another smart contract? I'm speculating many decades from now if everything goes well. Anything financially centralized should now be able to have a decentralized counterpart.
