Open a private browsing session (Ctrl-Shift-N on chrome, for example), and then you get a fresh batch of articles to read. When you hit your limit, close that private browsing session, open a new one, and you've got another batch.

As to the concept of an income tax itself - this area has never, in the entire history of its existence and even accounting for inflation, had more money to work with than it does right now. It's unprecedented. So there should literally be no reason to ask for new taxes or more money. This area doesn't have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem.
