> Automated, and hidden taxes is one of the reason the government can actually steal errrr collect as much money as it does
The government creates, and then rents to us (usury), the money we all use [1]. It holds a monopoly on money creation.
Governments can create money to build infrastructure, hospitals and housing (many leftist governments in Europe have [2]) at will. Government doesn't need to collect taxes to do any of the things I mentioned, that's a myth. External constraints on national budgets are a myth. National budgets are just monetary debts by the government carried by citizens. [3]
This is laughably false, if the government just created infinite money the money would be worthless, would cause runaway inflation and could not be used to build anything
Fiat Currency requires a careful balance of fraud like pozi scheme to convince people that is is worth something, if they did away with the "myth" as you call it then the entire fraud would collapse like pozi schemes normally do
So you are objectively wrong that the government can create money at will, while technically true they do so at the risk of complete monetary collapse
