better tax code: no income tax, head tax (&| ppty t)

One of the things that really bugs people is the fact that we can't
work for one another for money without having to report it. The
whole economy which would otherwise have a casual / trivial human
to human trade component ("I give you 5 bucks if you fix my bike,
I give you 25 every day if you clean my home" which is now called
black work) is pulled into a tiresome system of bureaucracy that
chokes the small scale economy. It seems income should not be taxed.

Taxing income pulls the unfulfilled demand from crushed trivial
trade toward larger companies that can bother with the bureaucratic
overhead. Thus the demand comes in the scope of the for-profit banks,
who suck out capital from companies where they invest in and place
their people abusers as bosses (which it is most profitable). Income
tax seems designed to cause profits for investors and banks
(parasites). Do the banks write our tax code now ?

Simpler & better: tax every person a given amount (head tax).
Ownership (property tax) can be taxed, as that wouldn't impede
trade. In a more equally set up economy the need for progressive
taxation diminishes, makes it even simpler (maybe ownership tax isn't
necessary then). The head-tax would be comprised of varies taxes for
varies Government services. The government can compute the total
themselves and ask only that (why do I always get multiple forms
for different taxes from the same Government, can't they split the
money themselves when it comes in ? If I want to know how taxes are
split up I can go find out, other then that it is just more unnecessary
burden).

The total economy as it is seen by the People would grow (less drag)
Government has more money to enforce laws. In general all trade
would go along faster and smoother (more happy). Things like "I'll
pay your taxes this month if you pay me back in the summer," would
be as easy as giving someone a hand of cash. Companies can be taxed
by ownership also, their revenue doesn't need taxation in principle, it
is already taxed by a head tax.

The income-tax system does not prevent black-work. It only causes
good/honest people to be burdened while dishonest people work (more)
without reporting. Then the honest people are taxed to make up.
