    NO TAXES!?!
    I never said anything close to no taxes! I said the opposite of no taxes!

    I said the purpose of taxes isn’t what people think it is.
    Governments don’t need to take money so they have money to spend.

    That doesn’t remotely mean I don’t want taxes, or taxes aren’t necessary.
    Taxes are absolutely necessary!
    Taxes are the flip side of government spending.

    The government spends into the economy with one hand, and taxes out of the economy with the other hand. Taxes are the real inflation control.
