But the idea of a tax system is flawed to the point that it’s impossible to apply it fairly because the consumer is always the one paying, no matter what you change you can’t get away from it.

“The consumer.” As if every consumer was equal. No difference between the guy panhandling on the corner and Elon Musk.

Doesn’t matter if you’re Elon Musk or a regular guy you both eat the same amount, sure a regular guy will get a $5 hotdog every day and Elon will get $500 stake every day but that’s peanuts compared to what his companies are supposed to pay and in reality is covered by regular everyday consumers.

Of course it matters. You don’t tax everyone the same way in a system where taxation is applied fairly.
