I'm still in the early phases of learning about it, but it's looking more and more like that's the theory being adopted by the fed. In that case, taxes are useful for creating equity and punishing political opponents. Regarding the part in bold, the government doesn't have that. It comes from "the fed" which is not a government entity. Also "printing more dollars" does not "create more money". All it does is put more dollars into circulation. A VERY simple explanation of it is this. If a widget costs $1 it's because that $1 is only one of say a million in circulation. So suppose the government "creates" another million dollars and puts it into circulation, that $1 widget is now worth $2 because the amount of money available has doubled. Also, taxes are supposed to fund "essential" operations. Much of what tax money goes toward isn't "essential" for the operation of the government at all levels (federal, state or local). There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't. |
