You mean to say that there may exist an agency dilemma when it comes to taxation and government? Who woulda thunk it? Next you're going to tell me that a 3% excise tax originally imposed to fund the Spanish-American War stuck around for over 100 years, until it was finally ridiculed out of existence in 2006. Something so absurd could never actually happen! Right? A more sober and cynical person might say, "Silly taxpayer, taxes benefit politicians, not you! Now get back to work, someone has to pay for all those Gulfstreams Congress ordered the USAF to buy so it could shuttle around members of Congress." What?
