G.O.A.T.
I have no idea.
Maybe nobody. Maybe somebody. But that still doesn't mean that equitable is in the eyes of the beholder.
We have a saying in the US: Don't tax you, don't tax me, tax the man behind the tree.
There are all kinds of taxes around. Income, sales, property, transaction, fees for all kinds of things. Licensing. Use taxes. We used to have a Windows tax - that is a tax on the number of windows in a building - nothing to do with Microsoft. Someone in my state proposed a view tax. If you had a scenic view of something like a mountain, then you'd be taxed on it. Is that equitable? Can you request an exemption if you're blind?
i've never heard that
although the sentiment is certainly true...
