that doesn't mean government prints the currency...

you want to try again?
Fiat money is money made by decree. You said earlier that the reason governments can grow ever larger is because of fiat money. If that's true -- and I'm not saying it is, I'm just following your train of logic -- then why taxes at all?

So, yes, it's a leading question because the answer is that fiat money can't just be printed by fiat. Governments can't outgrow their economy without a correction later on. Basically, I'm calling bullshit on your statements.

in most countries, the federal reserve banks issue money, and they are controlled, directly or indirectly, by the governments of those countries
central banks are privately owned...

you are making up things as you go along, I would suggest you post a reference to support this statement that governments control central banks, in any event, they are two distinct institutions

if you want to read half of what I say and ignore the rest, don't expect me to take you seriously

The guy uses the same words you and I do but he has his own definitions for them. When asked, he doesn't explain.

well, not sure it's actually scarie
I’m saying that a large number of people won’t vote for a candidate that they don’t like.
but will they still vote, and for who? if a hardcore republican hates the republican candidate, will he even bother voting?
