The government never creates wealth, only drains it. No matter what part of government.

Um well where I work in Congress isn’t with what you are looping me into. I work in basic sciences more or less and I would say that the National Labs and my Committees drive to get the government to offer milestone based contracts shows that. AI came from the National Labs and SpaceX NASA, Semiconductor again National Labs those are the definition of wealth generators.

Government “produces” goods and services that are low-priority for individuals. In fact, it can only inhibit or rearrange production. It cannot produce anything without an act of consumption. The government is not a wealth generator.

Various individuals who are employed by the government expect compensation for their work. One of the ways the government can pay them is by taxing true wealth-generators—those individuals generating goods and services demanded by consumers. By doing this, the government forces an exchange of less valuable goods and services (i.e., government-produced goods and services) for more valuable goods and services produced by wealth-producers. Consequently, this weakens the wealth-generating process and undermines economic growth. By taxing wealth-generators, the government forces them to exchange more for less.
