Best description I read about government needing revenue. Is really the government doesn't need money as much as it needs a way to devote some portion of the economy towards public goods.
Someones got to consume less. Everyone thinks it should be the other guy. Wealthy have power so they are always shifting the burden to the middle class and the poor.

That much always seemed obvious to me at the federal level. For state/municipal governments there's at least some argument they do actually rely on the revenue, as they can't just go ahead and print/issue more money as needed.
