It's Not "the Taxpayers' Money"!

• "... no government has to charge tax to be able to spend on what it wants to do." (52)

• Murphy rejects trope of "the taxpayers' money"

  • Money you pay in taxes is the government's money and the government's rightful property. (44)

        "[P]aying tax is actually the process by which we transfer to
        the government that part of the funds we hold which rightfully
        are not ours but are in fact the property of the state. ... 
        Tax is actually the government's money that we sometimes hold 
        on its behalf." (46)
