Recently heard someone trying to tell me that the government doesnt need a penny of our taxes, they just print the money they need and all tax is a complete scam. He is 100% in belief of this.

I hate taxes too (when they go towards wars), but is this actually true? He mostly gets his ideas from Facebook and x. So yeah.
