When the government spends, it employs people. Contrary to libertarian-fantasy-land-belief, the government employs people - not robots.
These people that have money buy things. These things are provided for by businesses. These businesses employ people.
Let's look at the most wacky way possible to keep the government involved:
Sally is a sinister-socialist-Kindergarten teacher that must be murdered by a lolbertarian terrorist attack on a train, like in Atlas Shrugged.
Sally pays her protection-racket theft to the communist-overlord-nazi-government. These taxes then go buy a wasteful Mars rover that will do nothing, because we have to perfect life on Earth and wallow in ignorance before we attempt to learn anything about the sky. Besides, this kind of arrogance is what brought the Tower of Babel down.
The Mars rover is commissioned by the communist-liberal-elite-book-smart-climate-change-lying scientists at socialist NASA. They pay a private company to build it, which heroically does so by paying workers...DAMN it. It's almost as if the capitalist system has a capitalist government!
These workers then pay taxes, which pay people to build roads...damn it. Again, a private construction company is contracted out.
