You mean federal reserve fueled loans. It's not like our taxes are what really funds the government. Taxes just exist so money has value as a don't go to jail token you have to pay once a year. The fed prints money and gives it to the banks (already a sweet gig for the banks). The US government then funds itself from loans from the banks (so now not only do the banks get free money but our government is indebted to them). That then gets laundered into political money to make sure there are always politicians who won't question the current system. The only reason taxes exist is so what the fed prints has value because if it didn't there would be no power gained from having a money printer. The fact that you have to aquire extra money beyond satisfying your needs to give to the government creates demand for that commodity. Because it is in demand it can then also be used to pay other people and becomes a currency. But the dollar isn't backed by gold. It's backed by threat of a prison sentence.
