It's called Taxes...

 

 

The USA Govt. is wondering why they have a surplus in revenue from Over-Taxation?

 It's called Taxes.  People pay into it, especially when new taxes are added to the system, then we watch how they spend or misspend it on trivial matters and complain later when they want more.  They can't simply use existing revenue.  Surpluses can be repaid back to the Citizenry, then more taxes are required later because the Govt. cannot "save money" in the Treasury, because "saving is bad."  Govt. doesn't like people who save money.  They love Credit.  They also love Debt, because then they can negotiate for things with this.  They don't like using hard currency (non paper money) like gold or silver to pay debts, because then they cannot negotiate anymore.  Well, we can use hard currency to pay taxes? Currently in USA this is not accepted due to Legislation issues.  Banks no longer offer gold or silver, just paper money.  Do you remember the "good old days" when people paid in that? Now we use gold or silver stock option, not actual items.   There is also a coin shortage in Banks.   Not that it's important because who uses coins now? Everyone uses their Phones to pay merchants, or apps or Cryptocurrency.  Money for all its uses is becoming obsolete.  It is almost nothing.  It began as rings of gold in Ancient Egypt, then it became gold coins in Ancient Greece, later in other metals, then paper, credit, and now cryptocurrency.  It could change from separate currencies into a numerical universal  currency based on numbers or units, not as dollars, pounds, yen, etc.   Who will tax nothing?  Taxes are a form of Oppression, especially when misspent.  Consider that.
