There's a silver lining my friend. They can raise taxes all they want, they don't get more revenue. It's basically an economic law.

"Revenue"? Why do they care about that? If they need money for actual government stuff they just print it, if they want money for themselves they take some of that printed money and spend it on a 5T "infrastructure" program or something and just have a few billion of it sent back to themselves. Actual taxes don't really matter anymore.
