@practicalthought, and @commonlaw

You two make great points! I should have said: "The real reason for the promotion of the tax by some individuals is to become more wealthy." However, you're both probably correct that those who've commissioned the related treaties and laws most likely seek power, control, and for people of all nations to one day submit themselves to a world government that they've got controlling interests in. There's a big difference between the shot callers, gophers, and the supergophers.
