I never intended to imply taxes aren’t required, I was simply trying to state that they are not taking away from infrastructure spending because they issued increase funding to the secret service. I feel like a lot of folks naturally evaluate the federal government budget like a state, local, or personal budget and it’s backwards. Rather than taking money in and then spending it, they generate the money and then remove it with taxes. That was the only point I was attempting to convey.
Ok that’s fair. Apologies if I was being too stern. It sounded like you literally thought they just print as much money as they want and that taxes are a scam.
I really appreciate that you took the time to tease out the point I was attempting to make, at times during my initial comments it didn’t feel great but I mostly chalk it up to not being the most socially intelligent or articulate by any stretch of the imagination. Hope you have a good day.
