The federal government’s revenue base is essentially a tax on human time. People work, firms pay them, the government takes a cut. Individual income and payroll taxes are the spine of receipts in normal years.
Indeed. Collapse in the labour economy causes a financial state collapse when the state is funded by a tax on labour.

The output is still there. But it’s no longer routing through households on the way back to firms, which means it’s no longer routing through the IRS either.
