You have to build something else First…

How about those roads and bridges?  How did we get those?

Tax dollars.

Well where’d those tax dollars come from?

Taxpayers

Where’d the taxpayers get the money for the government to tax in the first place?

Jobs and commerce

Where’d those jobs and commerce come from?

Someone started a business, exchanged their product or service (commerce) for products, services, labor, or money.

So how did the Government get the money?

The government passed a law to take the money from the business owners, workers, and from the commerce.

So the government doesn’t have any money unless someone else builds or buys something first?

Correct.  The government can’t exist without someone else creating something first for it to take.  They can’t even pay government employees unless someone else builds something else first.

If no one ever built anything, there wouldn’t be any money for the government to take? Government can not exist without someone else doing something first?  No government, no government employees?

No money, no government.

 

The end.
