Fiat money is money made by decree. You said earlier that the reason governments can grow ever larger is because of fiat money. If that's true -- and I'm not saying it is, I'm just following your train of logic -- then why taxes at all?

So, yes, it's a leading question because the answer is that fiat money can't just be printed by fiat. Governments can't outgrow their economy without a correction later on. Basically, I'm calling bullshit on your statements.

i'm not even trying to be a dick, he's either using the wrong word, or he read some bad info. because most if not all central banks are government institutions that work directly under federal control.
