I take it you mean no taxes at all anymore, so your income would rise?
More like profits would go up for business, IMHO, but that aside.

For one thing, abolishing all taxes and what gets paid by it wouldn't
triple my income, it would negate it. Then there's the abolishment of
mkinimum-wage, of course, and the fact that I now have to pay 5 times
as much for medical costs.. oh, and the fee to get police
"protection", and a whole host of other fees. Abolishing all taxes and
government services at the same time, would not lead to a tripling of
your income, merely to a rechanneling of previously taxes into private
enterprise. At best, the inefficiency in government gets cut out, and
that is by no meansall of it.
