The government wants to make as much profit as possible. true or false

I believe its true. they make money off little things like revenue and grocery tax and try to make a large sum of money

This statement in my own opinion is false. i work at a job, i get paid 24.60 a hour, i work 70+ hours a week so i should make good money, right? wrong, the government takes half of what i made/worked for as "taxes".
