From the economy and balances the money supply. Controlling inflation.
The only other purpose taxation has is by directing the economy by encouraging spending or dissuading spending.
If we was to pay for anything we can.
Neoliberal economics is based on a lie. Stop buying into it.

There is no black hole. The government (we) can afford to pay for any project we want.
We don’t borrow money or need taxes to pay for anything.
The only limiting factor on money creation is resources.

The government isn’t a household.
Taxes (and buying bonds) takes money from the economy

They need them alive so they can abuse them.

There’s only one way out of this now. And a lot of Americans are going to have to kill a lot of other Americans.
Either the military do it. Or the people do it. Either way is terrible.
