    You see it’s the same way with our federal currency. The government gives you the money first then taxes it back. This is an important distinction because it goes to show that the government doesn’t need tax money to pay for policies or programs. Oh and going to jail for not paying your taxes is what gives our fiat currency its value, not the gold stored in a vault somewhere.
