only by the government. The property taken under this power shall likewise be
intended for a public use or purpose. It is used solely for the purpose of raising

Funds provided by taxation have been used by states and their functional equivalents throughout history
to carry out many functions. Some of these include expenditures on war, the enforcement of law and
public order, protection of property, economic infrastructure (roads, legal tender, enforcement of
contracts, etc.), public works, social engineering, and the operation of government itself. Governments
also use taxes to fund welfare and public services. These services can include education systems, health
care systems, pensions for the elderly, unemployment benefits, and public transportation. Energy, water
and waste management systems are also common public utilities.
