7 Reasons Liberal Economic Policies Don't Work

Just because there is a payroll deduction or a purchase is made it does not mean it is a contributions. Government spending, including payroll, welfare, subsidies, etc. is funded by reducing the economy first. Any spending returns the money to the economy, but is not a contribution but rather just a reduction in the amount taken from the economy. Taxes paid through government payroll deductions are just a pass-through of taxes paid by the economy, not by the government employee. No matter how you want to look at it or justify it, contrary to government hype it is not different money when government checks are cashed, it is still private sector taxes. Ask any accountant or bookkeeper to explain, what is overhead expense (government)?
