Gene Pool Survival Guide and Tips

I propose that rather than taxing income or regulating sex, we tax wealth and kids.

Taxing of wealth can be thought of as protection fee. When our country gets attacked, those who lose the most are those with the most real estate assets. So it’s simply natural that those with the most immobile assets pay all the protection fee. Protection fee can then be leveraged based on market mechanism.

Rather than demanding security tax based on governments expense for the army, governments can demand security tax based on security benefits it provide. An investor will then choose to which countries he will invest based on the relative security and growth the investments and the wealth tax in those countries.

That way, any governments that successfully improve his investments climate, through security, with minimum costs, like Swiss, can get away with larger wealth tax. This will encourage governments to provide the best results at the minimum costs, just like any business.

Also, this will create less market distortion. Under the income tax regime, those who buy mansions pay less tax than those who build factory because factories produce more income. Those 2 buildings, if they have the same price, will take the same among of F-16 to protect. So they should be taxed the same way.
