You are wrong.
MMT does not say that.
MMT says a sovereign gov't with a central bank and a fiat currency creates money by spending it (investing in services/infrastructure) and destroys it by taxation. Taxation is a tool to control the money supply and hence, inflation. It rubbishes the idea of "public debt" as a fiction, gov't borrowing from itself. It also rejects the myth that taxation "pays for" government expenditure.
