Not true. We could eliminate taxes altogether and just manage the government's expenses through inflation.
Are you suggesting we just keep printing money? That's not going to work. I cite Germany...post WW1 as my example.

The value of our dollar is already based more on what we say it is than what we can back up with gold, and words only have so much value. It's value compared to both the Canadian dollar and the Euro has greatly diminished already over the past 8 years. Printing more money will just make the situation worse.
