Since, only 38% of government expenses are funded by income taxes and since, US citizens bear only 37% of the loss in value from newly printed dollars used to cover US revenue shortfall, only 14% of revenue shortfall is borne by US income taxpayers. (38% of US expenditures paid from income taxes x 37% of loss in the value of the dollar borne by US taxpayers = 14% of US revenue shortfall from failure to pay income tax is borne by US citizens.)The great advantage of the dollar being the world's reserve currency, is that it is mostly foreigners, not us, who bear the cost of constantly devaluing the US dollar. https://comparegoldandsilverprices.com/news/economics-101/dollar-devaluation-since-1913/Moreover, many authors have noted that the US does not need the income tax to fund the government at all. https://www.forbes.com/sites/briandomitrovic/2013/04/02/to-fund-the-federal-government-we-dont-need-federal-taxation/#573211bd51f3Indeed, for well over a hundred years the U.S. government ran just fine without an income tax.
