Everyone works for the government. The government pays everyone's wages. From whence does the government collect the revenues to pay said wages?

You don't get money in socialism. Just room/board and a long wait for milk and cheese

P.S and a nowhere life sucking job you get to pass on to your children.

Why from the mint, of course. Seriously you you have to believe that the workers produced more revenue than they were being paid, obviously.

This is why everyone can't work for the government, it would collapse financially fairly quick if it didn't have taxpayers to collect sufficient taxes from to cover its costs.

From corporations who outsource their labor from the government workers.
