This result is really important when considering 'fairness' in taxation as well as when considering the ethics of tax evasion.

If financial aggregation is a feature of the system then it seems like tax evasion is not just someone taking 'their share' of the money which they earned somewhere else but it's closer to actually stealing from everybody.

Also, I think there are implications for the ethics of a global economy where communal services are financed from a local tax base and the profits leak to an entity beyond the taxation of the region.
