Re: But the claim that government spending ... (none / 0)

The only question then is what should be the basis of the tax being anticipated. I favour a levy on land rental values, and another on carbon use.

Why does there have to be a certain tax? Can you not just issue notes saying "this can be used instead of paying x euro in tax to country y"?
