Ok, I will admit that I am not an economist…

There is a fundamental difference. If I want to buy $20 worth of stuff from the store, I need to have $20. The government just spends it, creates the money out of thin air. And it does, litteraly go back to thin air when the government takes it back. The is fundamental to the way the economy actually works - if the government had to actually physically have the money in an account in order to spend it, spending would become massively problematic and unweildly.

Right, and deficit spending proves my point. The government spends money that doesn’t exist. They don’t collect taxes in April, count it all up, see how much they’ve got, then work out the deficit, then create that much extra money. They spend what they want/need to spend, then remove excess from the economy with taxes.

Tax absolutely does destroy money. You think the government has a bank account they collect tax dollars into? Taxation is one if the ways that the government removes money from the economy, and hence controls the amount of money in the economy.

You can’t set off toward Australia. Although I hadn’t considered that you can just move the starting point. So, there’s that.

India. You would have to set off somewhat perpendicular to the Indian coastline to be perfectly straight.

Yep, according to the article, they have a strong enough lobby bribe machine to win exemption.

Since they increase theft/loss rates. If the increase in losses is greater than the saving in wages, they are a failure.
