Ah man, they'd just abolished scarcity and he has to go annihilate them? What a cruel, heartless man. I was looking forward to the post-scarcity world.

Me too! I was so ready to move into the mansion that Arianna is so willing to share with everybody. She's got a pool and everything.

If the government is the issuer of money, why must they tax the citizenry?

Umm misdirection? If they keep everyone mad enough about their taxes, they won't notice that they should really be mad about the counterfeiting.

To avoid the massive rise in prices that would happen if they had to print all the money they needed to print all the money they spend.

hahaha I meant that as a sarcastic remark after reading the first part quoted from the Huffpo in the article. Sorry it wasn't meant to be a real question.
