While the dollar hegemony remains, unfortunately the US government can literally just print more money and be fine for a while.

Granted that's probably going to implode too if this kind of shit keeps up.

If you are a worker, income taxes are deducted already, right? You don't have a choice. And you don't have the choice to not be paid in Dollars, all the corps only accept dollars.

And in the US there is a ton of private debt (mortgage, healthcare, student loan debt) all help with demand for Dollars.

For the Sovereign (US Federal Government), taxes are one way to create demand for Dollars which they make (first) and allow banks to make.

Not likely with regards to individuals, but I could see state and local governments withholding tax dollars taken out of public employees’ checks from going to the feds.
