The concept of planets paying taxes to Earth is purely hypothetical and not rooted in reality. In our current understanding of the universe, each planet exists as an independent celestial body, and there is no system or authority that enforces taxation between celestial bodies.

The notion of taxes is a human construct that applies to economic systems on Earth, where governments collect revenue from individuals, organizations, and sometimes other countries. Taxation is used to fund public services, infrastructure, and other government functions. It is specific to the jurisdiction of a particular country or administrative entity.

In the context of celestial bodies, such as planets in our galaxy, there is no established governing body or legal framework for taxation across planets. Each planet would operate independently and would not be subject to taxation by another planet or by Earth.

Therefore, if we imagine a scenario where all planets in our galaxy suddenly stopped paying taxes to Earth (assuming such a tax system existed), it would likely be an entirely hypothetical and fictional scenario. Earth would continue to function based on its own economic systems, policies, and revenue sources without relying on planetary taxes.
