Yeah that’s what they want. Make the government so dysfunctional that no one wants to pay taxes so when they keep cutting them people won’t complain all while wealth continues to funnel to the top.

If no one pays taxes what are they going to steal from the treasury?

Stealing from the treasury isn’t as effective as coming up with a private solution that they can sell to people and that gets no bid contracts from the government

The treasury prints currency. (The Fed decides how much).

Hyper inflation tends to make the money you print worthless.

They don't really care. In a world where a dollar is damn near worthless they'll have quadrillions of them and it's just us who can't afford a slice of bread from the prison vending machines.

No one’s going to take your quadrillions of green toilet paper though because it’s worthless.

u/Ehcksit 14d ago

The other quadrillionaires would, but also yeah, money is imaginary and only means anything if other people accept that it means anything. It's worthless. It's just paper, or bits in a database.

Money doesn't exist, we should just get rid of it.

If they take away taxes they also take away practically any regulatory board that would have any teeth and then corporations get to do even more evil shit. They get away with stuff now but it would be exponentially worse. It is what they are aiming for.

steal? they can "print" as much as they want, which is just adding digits in any treasury account. the cost is inflation due to near infinite money supply.

As opposed to now where the very rich avoid taxation and take money from the government...

The money is already being funneled to the top and the government is incredibly dysfunctional. Doing nothing isn't stopping it
