Money from taxes is not printed from thin air. Printing from thin air (without replacing old bills) causes additional inflation and functional governments only do it to regulate deflation.

However, I really would not like a government job because to me it is just like stealing people's money because of the fact that the only way the government is getting money is by printing it out of thin air which causes inflation and taxes.

If you're doing good work then it's a valid use of tax money. Taxes aren't inherently bad, it's the misuse.

I’d say go for it. Learning what they do will teach you why taxes are the best thing you can spend money on.

Apply for every job available.

The idea that government steals from people (in principle) is nonsense. The work done by gov't employees is no differet than the work done by Loblaws (Big Grocer) employees. There's almost always less value that comes back to us from profitable private corporations because the net income often disappears from the economy. Sometimes in Galen's castle, other times it goes offshore into the multinational black hole.

I am saying this as someone who is in a high tax bracket.

If you can do work the gov't needs done - apply and do the work. The public sector is there because the private sector can't or won't do all society needs for reasonable prices. Especially so when the private sector shits the bed in a depression, like it used to do regularly a century ago, till we built a public sector to wipe its ass.

And the only way you can run your landscaping business is by driving a truck that emits hydrocarbons and contributes to climate change. And working in fast food is contributing to obesity. Your self-flagellation accomplishes very little. Accept the world as it is, and do what is necessary to achieve your goals, starting with making your life secure, comfortable, and meaningful.

If you want the government to change its policies, then join your local anarchist/libertarian movement, or run for office, or go stand outside the capitol and scream at anyone walking on or out (don't recommend), or make oodles of money and use your influence to hobnob with politicians.

But simply not doing things doesn't change the world, and simply fucks you over

yes you should. its whats best for you right now. anyone saying anything has some agenda that isnt you now

Since summer is just starting you might be able to find a landscaper to hire you on now with your relevant experience and you can keep looking for another position while hired. It is up to you how transparent you want to be about that. Some people are fine hiring temporary help and won't mind if you find something better, others its best to hide your true intentions and just get a few pay cheques. Many municipalities have seasonal landscaping type jobs and it could be an "in" for you for other municipal positions if you have a good relationship with your co-workers, especially management or supervisors.

You could work for the post office. Then you wouldn’t be taking people’s money. The post office competes with UPS and FedEx and others.

However, I really would not like a government job because to me it is just like stealing people’s money because of the fact that the only way the government is getting money is by printing it out of thin air which causes inflation and taxes.

IF you hold that the infrastructure, including civilrights, that you were born-into, is "stealing from people", inherently,

THEN do whatever the fuck you want.

People born into governmentless places are ruled by organized-crime, usually: shantytowns, Somalia, the "wild west" strongman-archy, etc.

"Cannibal Island" proved that individual-strongman-archy arises, then gang-rule arises, when rule-by-social-government ( Tribal Mother Village's government ) & rule-by-civil-government ( bigger-than-village, specialized, hierarchical civilization ), when things go to hell,

& all the kleptarchies of the world prove that DarkTriad does everything it can to highjack our world FROM RuleOfJustLaw.

RuleOfJustLaw is humankind's ONLY hope of surviving TheGreatFilter, through the next 6-decades.

You deem .. RuleOfLaw itself .. to be stealing, though..

Go move to the US of A, & have absence of RuleOfLaw to live-in: they're converting to strongman-archy/fascism/dictatorship, which isn't "civil government", is it?

I hope you live MUCH longer than I live, & I'm 0.6-century old, now.

( to all the ideologues whose prejudice pretends that I just said the extant government is self-inherently good, no, I did not:

The SAME requirement-for-hierarchy that exists in complex-organisms, like all vertebrates e.g, exists in complex-civilizations.

It is a system-inherent fact.

No-hierarchy, no ruler/ruled, means no parent-child-relationship!

That means amoebas are "truly anarchist, with no hierarchy" & all primates require the very "archy" that many call evil: the ruler/ruled relationship that parents have with babies/toddlers!

It is a system fact, not political or ideological.

The fact that our current-governments are decided-by-politics AND CONSEQUENTLY OF THAT are fundamentally non-optimal is a consequence of politics selecting-for DarkTriad's rule and not inherent-in-governing-itself!

But ideologues won't tolerate that meaning to have any validity,

& so they keep force-misframing things to fit within their ideology, same as Marxists prohibit American Indian cultural-validity, Eastern ashrams, etc..

same as zionists won't tolerate the question to be "do Jews & Palestinians have EQUAL RIGHT to homeland?" because they hold that Palestinains are "inherently not rightful". ( islamists & christofascsts & other fascists, including communist-party-fascism, all embody the same prejudice against others: I only picked 1 single example from many, there's nothing "more" evil about zionist-prejudice than there is about islamist-prejudice or christofascist-prejudice, or hindutva-prejudice, or male-supremacist-prejudice, or concentration-of-wealth-archy's-prejudice )

Method shows the true-fundamental-of-someone's-meaning! ( caveat: unconscious-ignorance & malevolence can enact the same method, but with distinctly-different motivations! So can utterly-alien-values! )

Lenin & Rupert Murdoch both enact the SAME method of eradicating objectivity: they displace correct-reasoning with imprint->reaction programming, Lenin through "education" & Murdoch's Fox Network's "entertainment" being the same-fundamental-function, so as to displace RuleOfLaw with THEIR political/ideological mobarchy/totalitarianism.

My calling-out the false-framing of those who want the benefits of governed-civilization, while they deem government-itself to be evil, stands.

My calling-out of governments world-wide, for their false-framing of things, for their disintegrity, simultaneously stands.

But the fundamental-problem is political-basis-for-rule: which weeds-out the practical-altruism people from authority, displacing responsibility-archy with DarkTriad-archy! THAT is the root-problem.

The next 6-decades are going to phased-escalating-deathmatch between the majority-of-humankind who enforce imprint->reaction totalitarianism vs the minority-of-humankind who put our lives up standing-for civilrights & RuleOfJustLaw.

6-decades from now, only 1 of those 2 factions will be left alive, & if it is the imprint->reaction bulls+cows ANIMAL-human faction who wins, then they will divide & be rampaging against each-other, then dividing-again, & again, until there is simply no human-life left on this world, & their ideological-rampaging became our-planet's Epitaph.

That is every bit as valid as the alternative, of humankind evolving & enduring-surviving!

Humankind's choice: grow-up & earn embodying responsibilityarchy, XOR enforce ideology-archy & keep rampaging until there's no life left, & ideology WON, "proving" intentional-human-ignorance to be the only "LORD".

Right-government is possible but takes honest-work to earn creating, it is fragile, easy-to-lose, hard-to-earn, but upright humankind can earn it, & has moral-obligation to do that.

To pretend that government is "inherently" evil .. is to pretend that within-organism rule-by-brain is "inherently" evil governing too, isn't it, since it's the SAME principle, just at different-scale, on-cells, instead of on-lives?!

So, my criticism is precise, & NOT what ideologues accuse me of saying.

& I still hope that all the ideologues outlive "me" by many decades: I want my soul to be rid of this-world's devoutly-retarded fundamentalist ideological delusions & gaslightings.

& so long as the-soul-which-got-caught-in-"me" keeps retardedly getting caught in "human" category lives, it'll keep being ruled by ideologue-world's intentional-ignorances.

The problem won't fix, therefore enforcing soul-ectomy, Liberation-from-uncontrolled-reincarnation, is the only remaining sane-action.

The ideologues ought reap-what-they-sow, & if the force species-extinguishment, then those-souls ought get the consequences of that: non-existence of human-category-lives to be inhabiting.

There will be other-worlds, other-galaxies, & other-universes-of-this-type: they'll get to try-again, later in Eternity, someday.

Endless-recycling allows no alternative: the churn is endless-steam-of-universes in scope: there's no escape for continuums/souls, but to evolve, .. eventually.
