There’s levels of Doomsdays. As emotional as people get over surface level details of government, there’s a long way down from a civilization unable to make CPU’s before the literal stone age.
So sure people hate the IRS, but codified tax collection is the single most important function of modern government. Without that you don’t have private property or free markets just warlords arbitrarily seizing property which destroys whatever is left of society very quickly.
That's kind of what I'm getting at with the first part of my post. Doomsday for the Fed is "major collapse of sector(s) the US economy they fail to arrest" or esoteric economic woe that requires drastic but relatively novel (legally speaking) measures to address. The kind of systemic seizing that some of the people who had the foresight and money to have made a killing on 2008 but didn't because they feared the wholesale collapse would happen because they didn't factor in the firehose of money that would be directed at the problem.
Complete societal collapse is outside their purview because they depend on there to be an economy to manage which ceases to meaningfully exist at certain points on the Doomsday scale.
Maybe with my limited knowledge I am wrong about this, but it seems like "codified tax collection" as it relates to private property and free markets, at least in the US, is that they designed it to create the illusion of a functioning system. In reality it serves special interests because they can afford to navigate it's complexities, while the general population is held hostage to this system. Secondly, income tax money doesn't appear to actually go to the places it should, like infrastructure, and instead towards unjust wars that are waged to democratize(hold-hostage) countries that don't play along with capitalism.
I think the tax system, in its current state, is an illusion of providing a just system when what it really does is turns a country of free people into wage slaves working for overlords (people with money).
When you think in terms of absolutes you lose precision. We aren’t living in a pure anarchy and therefore the system is providing some quantifiable value.
Instead what’s going on is the system is failing to live up to your ideals, but Democracy isn’t based on any one persons idealistic vision. Instead it’s a compromise between many fundamentally incompatible ideals, as are all institutions it creates. Government is quite literally working as intended, because it’s the result of intentional actions by individuals. You may disagree with a law, regulation, court case, etc but remember someone wrote it.
