The tax system is broken in the US. However, I don’t think printing money in and of itself is a problem. Rather, it’s shifted the burden from the wealthy to the lower classes, which has a snowball effect of increasing the ultra wealthy’s largesse which increases their political power which they leverage to further decrease their tax burden, rinse and repeat.
So the advantage of upping their tax burden isn’t really about “paying for nice things,” it’s neutering the bourgeoisie.
