You misunderstand money. Step by step: - Government charges people taxes. - Government uses tax money to pay scientists and equipment. - Government makes tax-over-tax profits by charging taxes again on scientists salaries (which were already paid with tax money, but now will be charged tax again) and on equipment purchases (sales tax will be charged on equipment that is already being bought with tax money). Everything the scientists spend their income on will also be taxed again. This is just a ruse so government makes more money. It fools people every time.
