All of the top 5 have taxes therefore there's no true free market in existence.
How can a true free market exist when they force businesses and people to pay public taxes![]()
Thats why i said they "come close"..Free markets are an ideal and with most ideals there will be a gap between theory and application..The ruling class must get their cut so since no country isnt run by a ruling elite (internal or external) there can be no complete freedom....That said Hong kongs tax code is marvel of simplicity..so simple it can fit on one page and very transparent..
BTW Taxes arent necessarily the most anti free market aspect of an economy bruh..a voluntary short term tax for a big infrastructure project is something I personally would support..its when the taxes are used as incentives or for redistribution that they become oppressive
Target all day.
I dont disagree with that assesment
