We are taught two reasons for tax:
- Resource mobilization
- Redistribution of income
But the deeper purpose in evolved systems is alignment.
Alignment between national direction and private ambition.
If a country wants semiconductor independence, it rewards chip manufacturing.
If it fears import dependency, it rewards local production.
If it needs employment,it incentivizes job creators.
Tax becomes a lever.
If your growth solves national problems, the system bends toward you.
Alignment is more powerful than avoidance.
Are you aligned with where your nation is headed?
