The people don't give any money to the government. The government doesn't need their money, it creates money when it spends.

The more government spends, the greater the capacity of the private sector to save (so long as the government doesn't spend beyond the productive capacity of society to create excess inflation or compete with the private sector for resources which would stifle innovation).
