That’s money (ideally) used to benefit everyone.
Not really; the federal government prints money; they don’t tax you to fund programs, they tax you to reduce the monetary supply.
State governments do have to be funded though.
Well, yeah, but because they don’t want to increase monetary supply to keep inflation in check they need to tax you to fund their programs
Turns out inflation doesn’t quite work the way most economics courses teach. That may be related to the way billionaires fund a lot of university’s economics departments.
I didn’t say they aren’t increasing it at all, just that they aren’t doing it for all their needs.
