It already has happened here. I’m in Canada and between income tax (40%), property tax (5%), (sales tax, registrations, levy’s, and other fees (5-10%) I give most of my money to the government. Oh, and pretty much everything I buy is 20-50% more expensive than it should be because of the tax and regulatory burden on producers.
You’d think this would be enough, but the government still borrows money to fund its social programs. Every person here is on the hook for 200k in federal, provincial, and municipal debt too.
