Interesting peice Oliver. I think your conclusion is correct; states are drowning in a sea of debt and are engaging in ever more creative means of taxation.
I do believe the welfare states that many have set up are unsustainable given fertility trends.
A Land Value Tax would go a long way to easing this problem, encouraging growth while being difficult, if not impossible, to evade. https://www.lianeon.org/p/just-tax-the-land
