I read your post. There are several interesting reflections. I live in Italy and taxes are very high for both people and businesses. In fact, in Italy you see very few new businesses. As for the end of the centralized system, I don't think it will happen. It seems to me that the centralized system always manages to renew and regenerate itself. In the country where I live, they say that "bad grass never dies"
And most of the largest companies aren't actually owned locally, and those that are, also pay their taxes outside of the country. A flat tax system, where everyone pays their tax in the place they earned it would help a lot. Well, not the very large US companies! :D
