Don’t know why you think giving the government even more money is gonna solve anything.


Taxation doesn’t give the government money; the government is the source of money and can create more if it wants to. Taxation destroys money, which is good if you think there’s too much of it.

(Some exceptions to this model due to federalism, since state and local governments don’t get to create money except by issuing bonds and getting federal funds for unwise construction projects.)


You're lazily strawmanning and failing to offer an alternative to a constructive suggestion.

This comment has negative value.
