Let's imagine the world, where government has all the money at the beginning and we need to decide how this money can be shared with people. Do we all need to be equal? Or should our salary depend on the work we do?
First, government can't create something from nothing, even money
In order that government can have money, first they have to collect it from the taxes.
In order to collect taxes, some people should earn money first.
In order that people can earn some money, jobs are needed.
There a no jobs without government regulations and no government regulations without government
So, everything is connected.
Government don't have absolute freedom to do whatever they wants with public money.
It's naive way of thinking.
They have to give salary to many workers in the government offices, army, public health industry etc.
They also have to pay for national loans, cover international cost for international organization as World bank, Unite Nations etc.
So it's impossible that government can share all money with people, even small amount of public money is difficult to share, because of so many different agendas and interests in society.
Yes, people should receive salary for their work but if they work in private area, they can't request government to give them salary.
It will be strange to do such thing.
