They are not running spread sheets tallying up how much money they are going to get from taxes in order to make their budget.

Check out Modern Monetary Theory. It's pretty interesting.

I'm pretty sure they know roughly how much money they'll get every year.

Yes, but like I said, that's deflationary. Money gets created, but if you just printed money forever that would hyperinflate and crash the economy. You have to pull money from circulation in order to keep the credit machine going, essentially.

The economy is built on a concept of unlimited growth.
If you didn't have taxes to force money out of the hands of the populace, you'd have hyperinflation. If there are no taxes, or lower taxes, most people save their money. That's bad news bears for the market.

Your state and local taxes do in fact fund things directly, I'm talking about federally.

They probably save because they're used to being taxed out the ass. And, so what? They weren't spending it before, why is it bad if they don't spend it now? And most importantly, why the fuck should anyone be allowed to force people to spend their money how they want it spent?

I don't disagree. This economy isn't build for the benefit of the people.

Markets should work for the people. Not the other way around.

Tl;dr I hate capitalism

But I am not a communist.

Unrelated: what are the guidelines for outdoor ranges? My gf said the range near her looks like it's just a field and benches, no buildings. Aside from not leaving trash, should I look for a tip jar or some shit? How are these things run?

Just go and see how they're run

Do they have crab legs

How would you describe your economics then?

It's a small town and it will be fridged, there may well be no one there.

Well still only take a few legs if your there early in the day

Legs?

So if there isnt anyone there, and no signs or anything, is it generally accepted that you can just go and shoot?
