The brainwash works, so many people defend these taxes and think the government is doing anything it can to save the planet. Good time to remind everybody of the best article of this year @thebitcoinbugle
What if you are the one brainwashed? By the big oil corporates for example.. a real possibility as they control politicians and want more consumerism (look at top donors)
The power to tax gives governments the incentive to institute programs that distribute wealth and create dependency. These harmful programs benefit those in government. They create dependence and, consequently, make dependents become enthusiastic defenders of the state, as they begin to fear the possibility of losing their state handouts. This support greatly complicates any effort to reduce state power.
reminds me a little bit of the broken window fallacy

I'm pretty sure when the mafia shook down businesses it was "for their own good" too.
I guess criminal organizations do be like that.
