I don't think a single government scholar has ever said that the purpose of government is to make money. Sorry buddy - no one thinks this. Feel free to link me to any book or article that's says otherwise. I'd also like to know an example of a government that makes money. The US government functions at a deficit so large we can barely count that high.

@DeWayfarer That's cute. It's the job of government to mint currency but I don't think that's what he meant by "make money"

A country needs to generate revenue to work but it’s only a means to an end.

Government need money in order to run many things. That's why they ask you to pay taxes.

It should be a two way thing,governments should be here to do what the people say and to a lesser degree people obey the government... unless they are corrupt.
Sadly the media feed people crap and distractions from whays really going on.

Government does not generate/make a penny on their own. All their monies are acquired from the people (individual & corporate) through taxes. It is our money they use and abuse.

The resigned Boris Johnson and all other MPs who resign get a severance pay off of £420,000 pounds.
Boris is set to make £3 million per year from book deals and speaking tours.

Govermments have no money. It's the people's money.

No government ever makes money. They spend the taxpayers money that they extort from the taxpayers at gun point.
