The Jizya Insight That Changes Perspective
There was a levy in ancient empires called Jizya.
Non-believers paid it.Unless they sent a family member to the army.
Suddenly the tax disappeared.
The levy was not about revenue.
It was about building an army.
That was the moment I understood something powerful:
Tax promotes behavior.
Modern tax systems do the same.
They promote exports.
They promote manufacturing.
They promote renewable energy.
They promote job creation.
Tax is not accidental.
It is intentional social engineering.
The question is not “Why am I taxed?”
The question is “What behavior is the system nudging me toward?”
