This is the ultimate form of gay.

Can't the government just create a massive amount of money on a computer?

Banks do it.


Are you unaware of the concept of inflation?

I am, I am very aware.

I just hate the concept of money and think that it should be abolished.

Then what should we do, just trade services? That couldn't possibly work.

I know, I am very aware there has to be a trade system, I just hate the factors money brings.

I think you'd hate the factors brought by an economy without currency even more.

I actually think taxes are great. In Norway we have to pay about 25% of our income in tax. This goes mainly to roads, public transport, culture, hospitals and education. Too many people think of taxes as something evil stealing their money, that isn't it. It's more like letting the state manage some of your money for the good of society. Of course, the state isn't always a good manager, but then the problem is in the government, not the tax system.
