Everyone in the US is affected, regardless of whether they pay federal taxes, or how much. Not only “taxpayers” are affected. US federal taxes pay for literally nothing. Not figuratively: literally.

Regardless of whether I agree with MMT this is a much more useful thing to do vs linking two posts with no explanation

And fyi I have engaged with MMT enough to know I disagree with it, I have read Michael Hudson and engaged with podcasts with people who subscribe to it.

Okay. If MMT is wrong about how fiat money works, then how does it work?

I have better things to do with my time, then debate MMT on lemmy, or debate on lemmy in general.
