Why does the government need taxes if it can just print money?

They have to create the illusion that it has value otherwise goyim would stop slaving away for it

>>60596446 (OP)
because money only exists as debt and interest needs to be payed (((you know who)))

damn that bitch has a fat ass

>>60596446 (OP)
Tax extortion is literally the only thing that gives USD value. If people didn't need USD to pay for taxes they could just abandon USD completely.

>>60596569
Yes.

It's literally the chosen form of currency in every shithole on this planet. You think the niggers in Zimbabwe are paying taxes?

It sucks but it's still better than everything else out there.

Printing money is inflationary. Collecting taxes is deflationary. Taxation also enables the government to do mechanism design to align behaviors, e.g. homowners pay way less in taxes which encourages people to purchase houses.

because they use taxation as a form of violence against the people that compete against their sponsors

The thing that makes currency valuable is that it's the stuff you have to pay taxes in.

>>60596629
It's irrelevant if poor people in in Zimbabwe pay taxes with USD, the point it that rich americans have to.

"If nothing else, this approach helps solve one of the obvious mys-
teries of the fiscal policy of so many early kingdoms: Why did they
make subjects pay taxes at all? This is not a question we're used to
asking. The answer seems self-evident. Governments demand taxes be-
cause they wish to get their hands on people's money. But if Smith was
right, and gold and silver became money through the natural workings
of the market completely independently of governments, then wouldn't
the obvious thing be to j ust grab control of the gold and silver mines?
Then the king would have all the money he could possibly need. In
fact, this is what ancient kings would normally do. If there were gold
and silver mines in their territory, they would usually take control of
them. So what exactly was the point of extracting the gold, stamping
one's picture on it, causing it to circulate among one's subjects-and
then demanding that those same subjects give it back again ?
This does seem a bit of a puzzle. But if money and markets do not
emerge spontaneously, it actually makes perfect sense. Because this is
the simplest and most efficient way to bring markets into being. Let
us take a hypothetical example. Say a king wishes to support a stand-
ing army of fifty thousand men. Under ancient or medieval conditions,
feeding such a force was an enormous problem-unless they were on
the march, one would need to employ almost as many men and ani-
mals j ust to locate, acquire, and transport the necessary provisions. 17
On the other hand, if one simply hands out coins to the soldiers and then demands that every family in the kingdom was obliged to pay
one of those coins back to you, one would, in one blow, turn one's
entire national economy into a vast machine for the provisioning of
soldiers, since now every family, in order to get their hands on the
coins, must find some way to contribute to the general effort to provide
soldiers with things they want."

So they can exploit you in every way they possibly can.

Because then there'd be no demand for their worthless token. If no one had to pay taxes in fiat, everyone would move to an actually good and hard money. Then the gov would be free to print as many dollars as they want, but it'd all be worthless since no one wants it.

>>60596446 (OP)
The value of money still depends on supply and demand and the government that prints the money can only really control the supply, but they wouldn't have full control if they could only add to the supply and not take back from the supply in the form of taxes. >>60596708 gave some pretty good examples of what that control means.

Because humans are fundamentally evil and you idiots keep voting for this system every few years at the ballot box.

It allows it to more precisely control where the money comes from
