I hope you get paid for your services. I sure as hell do.
I also pay for service rendered to me. If it is open to the general public, I expect to get served, and so should your beautiful mother.

the implication here is that fair prices are paid for services rendered

where I come from, sales tax (VAT) has increased recently, income tax collection has become more stringent and many deductions removed or ring fenced

in return service delivery has deteriorated and many economic agents has lost confidence in the government's ability to do anything rational, so in effect they (government) are simply squandering the money for their own benefit

We now pay taxes even if you are buying online. I still find better discounts online than I would ever in a store. My delivery is quick and fast. Seemingly always receive before or on date

You talk about fiat currency as if that's the reason why governments can grow as infinitely large -- I guess your meaning is they can just print more to cover cost. If that's true then why do they need to tax at all?

Your cryptic answer to a question I didn't ask was impenetrable. So, what is the question that you said you answered?

at no point did I say governments can just print more money, thats something you thought up all on your own. You asked the question, and I answered it with your question in quotes (I don't know how more clearer it could be), and you still ask which question I answered

if you are that slow then this will be a boring engagement, thus *yawn*

money isn't the problem. the governments that issue the money are the problem.
money is just an easy way to transfer wealth.
want to carry gold coins and have to shave strips from one when you want something cheap?
money is a tool. the people wielding the tool are using it for bad purposes. hammers aren't bad, but hitting people with them is frowned upon.
