    if the US government were actually funded by taxes, then everything the government does would be with "my money"

    Even if the government is funded by money printed by the central bank, it would still be funded with "your money". Every dollar printed dilutes your money by that same amount, ie it's like a much more subtle tax that doesn't follow any of the principles of proportionality, everyone pays the same (except those with little to no liquidity and everything invested, so it's really a tax on the poor through inflation)

    That only works if we (the collective we) have more money. If a rich person has more $$ than a small country that means the effect we have is equivalent.

    That's why micron is doing what its doing. We are no longer the customer. They voted for us.
