Good one! Let me try another angle: the greatest trick is to cover up the simple fact that the redistribution of wealth is arbitrary. We could agree that the owners of German Shepherd dogs do not pay VAT on Thursdays if they have a green hat on. Royals and the like were convincing people for who knows how many millennia that their status and power is from god. In a way we have the same with current tax laws, we all think they come from "somewhere", whether it's a necessity or logic, experience or a textbook. The search space is much larger than what we make use of.
