The idea that government is providing you anything is completely false It has no money of its own Thatcher, 1983: “The state has no source of money other than the money people earn themselves If the state wishes to spend more, it can do so only by borrowing your... savings or by taxing you more And it’s no good thinking that someone else will pay That someone else is you There is no such thing as public money. There is only taxpayers’ money”show more

My favorite thing she said was something like "Socialism doesn't work because sooner or later, you run out of other people's money." Maduro was a perfect example of the extreme. Their money had no value, even though they had mass oil. Keep the people weak and hungry to rule them

Government spending ultimately comes from taxpayers, highlighting personal responsibility in public finance

And the government is giving you a credit score so they can raise your %, it’s all a scam

Margaret Thatcher’s reminder remains undefeated: the state has no treasury except the wealth of its taxpayers. When public spending expands without productivity to back it, the bill always lands back on the working public. Spot on quote!

Well said

Truth 👌

We provide to government, every time I fill my truck with gasoline.. . . Every time even when I pay cents to simply pee....

Governments exist to provide necessary social services that, in their view, private enterprise do not, cannot, or should not, profit from.

We are bankrupting the wealthy out of love. It's not about money. Money isn't real.

👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍✌️✌️✌️😄

We know, but many voters don't.

Please never quote that evil bitch again.

A big parasitic state is nothing but the most powerful criminal enterprise in an area. It has no legitimacy despite some kind of popular participation charade. It only remains in power through theft from the population and violence against the population. It will do so until toppled by a revolution strong enough to see it off and replace the system with an innocent-looking new one that will go through the same cycle.

a leader. much like Golda whose spirit is not happy.

Exactly. Government doesn’t magically create money—it collects it from taxpayers, borrows it, or creates obligations that taxpayers ultimately carry. Thatcher’s point remains as relevant as ever: there is no “government money,” only taxpayers’ money. 🇺🇸

It's the same with AI: there's no such thing as free inference, somebody's compute bill is quietly paying for yours.

The comparison you are drawing highlights a massive transition in how value is extracted from the public. It marks a shift from the taxation of physical labor to the uncompensated harvesting of digital labor.

Correct...the Government steals your money then trades that money for votes. 🤔 "Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others. A society that robs an individual of the product of his effort ... is not strictly speaking a society, but a mob held together by institutionalized gang violence." - Ayn Rand

A powerful reminder: governments don’t create resources out of thin air. Public spending ultimately comes from taxation, borrowing, or money creation—costs that society bears in one form or another. Understanding who ultimately pays is essential to any serious debate about government spending.

Correcto

The fact that you have to post this information is telling. The government schools do not teach government and economics to keep the public ignorant.

Exactly!

Her famous quote. "Socialism is great until you run out of other people's money." People these days need to remember that one. That truth hasn't changed one bit.

We have a Congress that is totally unaccountable to the people and does not provide the necessary oversight.

The State quite literally creates the money though, fiat

True

Taxpayers money chose be used to develop the country to grow and help people who live and pay their bit not charity to pay for every one !! education healthcare, instruction , and training people to work that will make country stronger!!x

👀

And you make money for those who don't want to work but want to live on social benefits.

Donald Trump changed the game by design. Imagine, the Federal Government to hold incorporation for the sole purpose of investment in technological advancements, where it obtains shares and applies the profits as Federal revenue. Next out the door: income tax Brilliant move.

The realization of a fully welfareed society is carried out by imposing harsh taxes on taxpayers. Everything comes at a cost.

Excellent
