The U.S. Government borrows money from the Federal Reserve. And because there is no longer a debt ceiling, it is today a well known fact that the government can borrow money from this central bank in unlimited amounts. The U.S. Government also has the legal authority to print as much money as it wants to. And so the question is Mr. IRS agent; If the government can borrow unlimited amounts of money and can also print it's own money, why does it need my money and why are all of us being forced to pay taxes?

In addition, since the government has proven it can not manage it's financial affairs as it has accumulated over $21 Trillion in debt and also continues to lose and misplace large sums of money and which now is being reported to be over $20 Trillion Dollars from the Department of Defense budget that can not be accounted for, why should we the American citizenry continue to entrust our money to spendthrift politicians who clearly no longer represent the interest of the American people?

Thanks for the response reader,

Legal authority? What authority do you speak of?

It needs your money, and forces you to pay taxes, because that is how it controls you. Its easier to control people, if they think they are free. Especially lazy people, who do not think for themselves.

The government is capable of managing its financial affairs, and never loses or misplaces money. You just don't comprehend, that the people within the government have lied to you about its purpose. Its purpose is a means for performing parasitical activities. No money has been lost or misplaced, its in the pockets of the people it was intended to go to. They just tell you it was lost or misplaced, as an excuse for why the books don't look legit, and why they need more taxes.

You shouldn't trust people in the government, or financial institutions. You also shouldn't trust any form of money that is not tangible. Money should not be difficult to comprehend, nor should its value be in question. You can easily see how much attention, effort, labor is required to mine gold and silver, and then compare the attention and labor required to produce other products, like a loaf of bread.
