If it's against the law to pay your taxes with anything but the currency, people MUST obtain it. Hence, demand for it.

Taxes also prevent massive income inequality that can allow the wealthy to start affecting policy. Lastly, they can be used to discourage bad behavior, and encourage good behavior.

Fake austerity is murder. (10/10)

It's not that our congress and executive branch can't afford to help the suffering of Americans. It's that they simply don't care enough to do it in the face of the Supply-Side Jesus movement. They care more about being re-elected by people who have no idea how fiat macro economics works. (9/10)

Our currency is backed by real resources, material and labor. And trying to deport thousands of workers who do nothing but contribute to our resource pool is just just going to add fuel to the fire. (8/10)

It doesn't work the way you think it does. The currency issuer's financials work nothing like your personal checking account. Our currency is not backed by precious metals. (7/10)

People suffereing economically soak it up and prevent inflation, as long as you give up the idea that filtering it through the accounts of billionaires first makes it magically okay somehow. (6/10)

When you have a bunch of suffering and unemployed people, it means the currency issuer is not spending enough. It means you need to put together budgets that spend money on the idle resources who have no money to spend on goods and services. (5/10)

If the complaint is that money is being spent on foreign aid instead of domestically, the answer is not to stop the foreign aid. You can spend more domestically at the same time. Taking money out of the economy causes recession. (4/10)

Reagan tricked an entire generation into thinking a fiat currency issuer can go broke, and convinced them that the federal government should be ran like a private, for-profit corporation, when in actuality it's basically the opposite in terms of how the financials should work. (3/10)

These attacks on spending are are the ultimate horrible conclusion of the Reagan era. (2/10)
