Notax posted:So, can anyone think of a way, without resorting to hostages, to satisfactorily generate government revenue to provide services without taxation? - Print money, therefore effectively taxing debtholders and dollarhavers without actually using the t-word. - Have solid nationalized industries that produce enough surplus to fund the government. - Engage in regular aggressive conflicts and sell the resources and/or labor thus obtained.

rudatron posted:The government produces goods which it sells (either full or limited-but-exclusive-nationalization-of-specific industries), or hyperinflation all day everyday, or do what some ancient civilizations did and require 'taxation' in the form of labortime (levies). The last one generally isn't a good idea today, considering the degree of specialisation in modern industrial economies. Oh yeah, technically levy labor is not taxation!
