Gov't doesn't "print money", it's a digital illusion backed by nothing. So when same Gov't spends billions on war, it is done by adding more digits. So ask yourself this; why do they need to steal money from us unconnected folk, why don't they just add more 0's and 1's?

Rat knows.

A substantial percentage of taxes go to pay the interest on the loans that were taken out to pay for the things that taxes were supposed to fund. The beneficiaries of that process manage to avoid paying anything other than token taxes, which they recoup many times over. There are numerous additional criminal absurdities, of course, but that one stands out strongly.
