Taxes are not the problem (at least if you have empathy) but corruption and the ability to decide where they are spent.
Choosing where taxes are invested previously requires a system that reflects the will of each of the individuals in a reliable way.

I was wondering who the FED was
You do realize you just contradicted yourself by saying the state can spend better if you decide where they go.. so why not just you decide where your money goesโฆ
I have not mentioned a state that manages.
The second paragraph makes it clear that previously we need a system that reflects the dividual i desire without a central entity.
Rules without rulers
Choosing where taxes are investedโฆ implies someone is doing the taxing
Yes, but it doesn't have to be another human, it can be an incorruptible system.
I'm not saying it's easy, most won't even try to understand what I've stated and will accuse me of FED
Just like Satoshi created a free currency maybe someone will be able to put together the technological pieces that allow that system.
And with that imaginary incorruptible system, taxes themselves wouldn't be the problem, that's where I wanted to get to.
I imagine that in such a system the tax burden would be really low and we would finance the most basic and necessary goods for society.
I think Bitcoin is perhaps the first founding stone of such a system.
