What are taxes for?



A few days ago, sporting enthusiasts announced the start of the annual fox hunting season. The fox hunt is important because this is how the nation procures the population's meat supply.

On a related note, the nation also recently just concluded the annual tax season. Tax is important because this is how a sovereign, fiat-issuing nation pays for its spending.

Legend has it foxburgers are magically conjured by the IS-LM fairy.
