The Government Doesn't Spend Taxpayer Money—Here's Why
Most people think taxpayer money funds government spending. That’s completely false.
Here’s the truth:
The government creates money when it spends—just like banks do when they issue loans.
It doesn’t wait for tax revenue; it simply tells the Bank of England to extend credit.
Every pound spent adds new money to the economy.
So what do taxes actually do?
Taxes don’t fund spending—they remove money from the economy to control inflation.
Taxation reduces the government’s overdraft at the Bank of England, keeping the system stable.
The government is not like a household—it creates money first and taxes second. Understanding this changes everything about how we view government finances.
