Another function of taxation is redistributive. If money needs destroying, tax those with most money - their money is lazy, sitting in savings, overseas. If you want to generate spending in the real economy (the pockets of the low paid, whose money works hard, as they spend it (usually LOCALLY) because they NEED stuff to survive) then cut taxes for the lower paid. @RichardJMurphy 's blog is a great resource. https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/
