Because the tech oligarchs have been so good with paying their taxes under current tax codes when governed by an outside body. They'll do even better in a tech governed county.

I forsee Dystopia County's tax collection office will be led by Santa since he's so good at maintaining lists.

Yeah... but oddly they could still impose their own taxes.
