Taxes are immoral, but evading taxes is probably more immoral. How low the scales are on both these is dependant on who is ruling you at the moment.
Managing to build our societies around a non-cheatable taxation system would be a huge step forwards for our species.
Just think how huge systems we have built just because most people don't want to pay. How much freedom and creativity and goodwill would be unleashed if nobody had to spend energy around that problem at all. If it all would just work.
Perhaps Taler won't give us that, but at least they're trying. Perhaps some future project that stands on its shoulders will.
