Let me elaborate if you don't mind. I agree with the concept of taxation in the case of managing a sovereign nation; if the state continually puts out money without getting it back somehow the state will simply bleed itself dry and have no power. And without power of the state the money itself will have no worth as currency, which in turn hurts the people who hold the currency. A silver denarius still has power as a store of value, but it's worthless as currency. You can't pay tribute to Caesar with roman silver. But you can still use the silver as a means of bargain. That is why Gold and Silver are the best money. It's the ultimate failsafe to the single most failed invention of humanity, currency. Every currency either has failed or will fail. But Gold and Silver are always valuable.

But taxation is no longer used a means to prevent inflation. If they wanted to prevent inflation the fed wouldn't have printed 40% of all US dollars in 2020, and potentially print even more after discontinuing the M1 money supply chart in Feb. 2021 (coincidentally right when we had the first big gas price hike during Biden's presidency. I believe the "pipeline cancellation" is misdirection for loss of foreign confidence in the US dollar. Why would cancelling a pipeline make gas more expensive if the pipe wasn't actually transporting gas yet) Taxation is used as a means to oppress the masses. Imagine if the 25-35% taxation rate along with the 7-11% sales tax rate you currently pay could all be spent on Gold and Silver. You would gain a big pile very quickly without any changes to your lifestyle! In fact, it would actually improve your lifestyle since you currently have to allocate a percentage of "spare" funds to PMs. That "spare" money could be instead spent on something like physical fitness, censored books, or ammunition, which the Powers that be definitely don't want you to have.
