The anarcho part is Utopian and fails for the same reason Communism fails - it doesn't take account of human nature and juat hand-waves away issues like monopolies. I'm with you that forced taxation is theft. The only fair tax system is one exclusively based on income OR consumption (taxing both disproportionately impacts the poor). I favour a flat income tax that is tied to voting - you must pay tax AND be a net contributor to be able to vote. This is self-correcting, as people who want to vote will not vote themselves bribes with their own money as this would mean they lose their vote. I'd also remove taxation on corporations, but balance this with more strict liability on those who run businesses and tax any money that leaves the country. If business owners were liable for prison for the deaths of their employees, workplace deaths would stop almost overnight... The same logic applies to financial mismanagement. If organisations are so large and complex that the person at the top cannot stop mismanagement, then businesses will become smaller, self-correcting for the monopoly megacorp... Of course, none of this would ever happen as there's too many vested interests, but hey, a man can dream, right?
