At its core, the most important goal of tax collection is to collect revenues necessary to protect or enrich those who are collecting the tax.
You can be sure that if someone wants taxes from you,
it's not to
maximize growth or
incentivize positive behaviors
but it may be to
redistribute (your) wealth, or
minimize (their) wage disparity
or, as they attempt to increase their own power, to collect revenue from certain groups and not from others.
Taxation, from the beginning of time, has needed to be severely regulated in order to avoid destruction, class warfare, and a life of slavery to others. Freedom and taxation are inversely related. The more closely related an individual's success or failure is to the will of the taxing body, the less freedom and personal satisfaction that individual experiences.
