I strongly support this approach. Because Transparent ZEC are net-negative to the Zcash mission, there ought to be a protocol level taxation against t-address balances.
Taxing non-preferred behaviors is broadly accepted as a social good, so there shouldn’t be much push back against Zcash adopting a taxation against transparency on the blockchain.
Suppose the alternative headline:
Transparent coin tax improves freedom, security and lowers risk of surveillance.
Transparent ZEC services usage drops 27% YoY, signaling potential long-term impact to increase global financial privacy & freedom
