why do we have taxes?

Answer 1

if you search taxations and google federal reserve fraud, you will have your answer. also google constitution society.

it is mostly to pay for the interest on debt the government incurs that they shouldn't have had to since they can make the money debt free.

taxations main purpose (except service taxes like roads police etc) is wealth transferrance upwards. basically transferring your wealth accumulation to the ones who need it the least the wealthy. it is a fraud that they need the money they can make it themselves, the bankers by the way make the money out of thin air, costs them nearly nothing and they get in return real interest. boy nothing like legal conterfeiting wish I could do that myself.
