In my country, the central bank is creating inflation through its policies. That’s a common function of the central banks. (Who controls all these central banks ?)

Considering the fact that we’re already paying the taxes through the form of inflation, why should the government tax us on top of that ?

      I mean, you can make a case for that being the truth at the moment, but obviously we didn’t create the concept of a government just to be taxed. Even when we were in small tribes we likely looked to a leader to organize hunts and make sure everyone got food even if they were in charge of other duties. It gets corrupted like any other form of power eventually does, but it’s still useful when it’s working.

      Ultimately it’s probably best if we get all-new governments every few decades just to flush out the corruption, but I imagine even that will be corrupted eventually. At the end of the day we need both a system in place to ensure fairness and equality for those who can’t fight for it themselves, as well as the strength to destroy that system when it inevitably turns evil.
