@icedquinn I was friends with a tax man. He turned out to be a POS but I can maybe shine some light on their thinking.
They think they are doing a public service. They arent really anti-rich usually or anything like that. But they do think they are making america a better place by doing a necessary service.
@freemo harassing the poor for pocket change to bomb arabs is a necessary service?
@freemo i mean the modern monetary theory literally only taxes to remove inflation from their infinite cash printing, so thinking you are doing anything other than terrorism by being a tax man means you're an unironic retard. 
@icedquinn @freemo Keeping the money printer going. That's what causes inflation. Taxes won't stop inflation.
@posrev @freemo the theory is if they print 1,000$ to spend on bullshit, that will filter in to the economy eventually. which causes the economic penalties. if you "tax" 1,000$ back out from the poor, the supply in motion doesn't change.
which amounts to a very elaborate reverse robinhood where the state continously issues loans for more money than exists and seizes it to pay off ever increasing debt loads.

@freemo @icedquinn Basically they use a elaborate money laundering system.
Its actually more like a loan to the public, and the amount of money generated is based on an auction that is priced effectively betting on the future value of the american economy.
@freemo @icedquinn Is that basically what a bond is?
