Neat framing, but incorrect. Moving the focus of taxation from income to wealth (increasing fuel duties/ introducing road pricing) would be politically difficult but economically sensible. Removing cliff edges would be politically easy and economically sensible. Details matter but principles clear.

This makes a lot of sense.
Some of the UK’s most distinguished economists have written to the Chancellor warning that fiscal sustainability will not be achieved “without a significant further increase in public investment” to drive economic growth: www.thetimes.com/article/5acc...
Policymakers urge Rachel Reeves to tax ‘better-off older people’
Economists and academics tell the chancellor to stabilise the public finances by boosting investment with levies on wealth and stamp duty reform

Initially the benefits of the IT revolution were reasonably widely dispersed, but as the 2000s progressed, competition decreased and they began to be increasingly captured by a handful of huge tech firms, exactly as economic theory would predict. And those tech firms were all based in the US
