The types of governments that are typically collecting fines on a regular basis don’t possess the authority to destroy money or lawfully affect the money supply in any meaningful capacity.

- thephyber 7y agoThis is such a misunderstanding of the different interests involved it scares me.
- SllX 7y agoThe big problem with that idea, at least in the United States, is the States’ employees don’t actually work for the Federal government, and requiring them to pass fines collected upwards would violate the 10th Amendment. Nor is it within Congress’ enumerated powers to seize the assets of the States or compel services from each State. The States are also specifically prohibited from having their own monetary policies, and thus have no incentive to cooperate with a money destruction regime.
