taxes aren’t about fairness they’re about one form of revenue for the state that the state is in competition for amongst other states and has to earn
there are other forms of revenue
there is the option of balancing a budget
and its absurd to have an argument based on everyone getting hosed equally, without considering why theyre getting hosed at all, especially when most of the arguments apply equally to a 1% tax as they do to a 70% progressive tax.
state entities can enter into contracts, but I’d be interested in seeing what a patch to that capability would look like
