If governments aren't responsible all currencies will become worthless. Wealthy people have the incentive to keep the system stable. I'd prefer if governments funded their budgets.

The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
