Money NOT collected by government as taxes does not disappear from the Earth.
It is spent by the taxpayer on goods and services and a little is put into savings accounts in banks and other investments.
Money is the ‘fuel’ of the economy, the lubricant of the wheels of progress.
When it circulates via economic freedom, people get jobs providing those goods and services and the population flourishes.
When government gets it instead, it is squandered on needless bureaucracy, graft and waste, doing nobody any good....................
I wrote the same. It would be a great benefit to have this untaxed money going into the local economy. Much better use of the money.
