> Federal income taxes are unfair and unnecessary. Since it had been demonstrated (via MMT) that taxes do not fund the Federal government,

That is incorrect

MMT does not propose that the state can fund itself without tax, except for some seriously deluded proponents who have lost their grip on reality

The use of resources by the state requires those resources are unavailable to other actors

Money is a slippery and an abstract concept. But it must always connect to physical reality

2 of the founders have said we don't need income taxes
