Obviously anti palantir and anti military here but my understanding of the federal tax system and how spending works is they actually fund all this stuff before taxes come in, having a sovereign currency and central bank has vastly changed the structure of taxation on the federal level(unlike local propertytaxes for examplewhich function in the traditional way ), this is a MMT take but it makes sense to me

Yeah the state will print endless money for its primary purposes: violent control, theft, enforcement of capitalism, genocide, etc. Thus, Palantir.
On the other hand, the state will ferociously attack any money meant to improve and liberate our lives, since this is a direct threat to capitalism.
Basically there is always money for war because they can spend whatever they want
