I explained last month that tax revenue is meaningless. But that doesn't mean that taxes are all together useless. Taxation can have important positive (or negative) effects on the economy. It all depends on what we tax and how we tax it. And, as it turns out, money is always the wrong thing to tax. This must sound strange. Taxation is, after all, the taking of money. When I say we shouldn't tax money, I specifically mean that the amount of money taxed should not depend on the amount of money or other financial assets that someone owns.
