... so folks like the Rockefeller's can't avoid taxes for 100 years and entities like Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street get to pay their fair share on their raw monopolistic economic power.

No thanks. Fuck all involuntary taxation. With voluntary taxation, the second some crook oversteps his bounds you can withdraw your support without having to wait for potentially crooked elections.
Voluntary, serious?
100%
If nobody wants to pay it, it isn't worth it. The details will sort themselves out very quickly, such as paying dividends to whomever stemmed the taxes e.g. for a new highway and who gets to access it for how much.
Not EUssr, but I don't see why it couldn't work. Big business loves stuff like roads and police, so don't you think that stuff will get funded, even if the unwashed masses don't put a single cent forward?
Big business hates taxes, that is why they are now multinationals keeping their money offshore in places like Ireland. Even here in the USA corporations have states and counties competing for their infrastructure based on the number of years worth of tax holidays they are given. This is not right, and needs to stop or else we compete ourselves into oblivion. Flat tax is the way to go, Forbes suggested 5% back in his day for everyone and corporations. According to Forbes we would be awash in money, money needed to rebuild our cities that the corporate entities and politicians have absolutely destroyed. Imagine cities building their economies on tourism, what a freaking joke as we are now finding out that the unemployed cannot tour.
