    No, it’s primarily to fund spending. But as a rule of thumb, once you’ve decided how much you’d like the state to spend on things, it makes sense to raise that amount of tax in the way that does the least harm.

      Does it help to view it less to do with funding spending and more to do with reclaiming the money that the government has already spent?
