I think the
real point of taxes is a counter-measure against inflation. Every day a good amount of gold (I can't imagine it's under 100) is taken from the earth, and people get their 2g for voting. If there were no way for gold to exit the system everyone would just get more and more and it would eventually become worthless. Rent and ship licence upkeep are a means of removing gold from the kiwike world so the economy doesn't get ridiculous.
