And if they're successful, whichever government it is will just tag
the lost revenue elsewhere. In a way, it might be better to abolish
all "hidden" taxes and just bung everything on income tax, but they'll
never do that, because it would make the overall burden too
apparent....

Let the user pay for it not everyone else.
