Yes but who said there has to be taxes in the first place?
If our goverment, is supposed to keep order by being a middleman or someone who controls the affairs of state, besides of what they actually require to rule a huge population, why would they need taxes at all? if we were taxed on grain, wouldnt it be more of a system of reprising our stocks in times of famine?
I see the point of money, but, Really this isnt a argumentive thread. Its more of what you think of the very purpose of money, whether it's purpose, the very idea it had its brith from, is now flawed, or it still is the greatest economical invention we have so far seen? In my eyes, the Barter system works well, But that is only my opinion. You may differ on your veiws, and I respect that however, Explain your reasoning, because Money isn't always the exact measurement of value, considering for example, diffrent currencies, which are comrpised more to do with political national doings then with global economics, but say I gave you, 20 USA dollars for 3 watermelons. (jsut a example, not using real prices.)
But then you go to another nation, with a considerably lower currency, and 1 US dollar could buy you 10 watermelons.
Now the reason currencies do drop, is because of many factors. There could be too many prints for that one currency, which is often the case in Africa, where they overprinted their money and now it is far less value. And there is sometimes sanctions involved, and ect. But the thing is, Barter, is a system, in which that cannot change, if you give a A car, and in return, you get 4 machine guns, that fact wont change anywhere, unless demand for it is really high in certain parts, where cars/machine guns are rare, perhaps it could fetch a higher price. But even then, it would still be fair, because often whatever your trading to match the rare items price, often is something you have accsess of, and not neccassarily a huge loss if you give much of it away. Money is like that as wlel, but it represents problems, such as the fact, in bare survival terms for the least, you cant use it as any tool or provision. But with barter, ussualyl whatever you get, is a item you can use, or make into something, so in truth, Barter has many points for it to be useful. But, Barter does have problems, and I realize that. So... I have a idea then
If we were to revert back, if onyl somewaht, Perhaps, We use both systems, cut money's control in half, and replace that half with barter, so you could go either way with people.
That way, everyone is happy, and you could trade vice versa.
