Where do you think that money comes from and what gives it value? Your bank account is full of your governments' money...

> what gives it value?
scarcity, for most people it's a representation of their labor valued on a market which in a fundamental way represents the energy they express
insofar as government whips it up out of thin air, they're stealing from everyone that's accumulated money in any degree and debasing their wages
They're spending everyone's money. How about we don't enslave people to their government and simply leave us all to spend our own money and resources how we see fit. Don't give me any nonsense about the social contract or democracy. The government has grown beyond any reasonable remit it was granted and is enriching itself or investing in failed programs.
