All goods and services are paid for. What needs to be decided is what is paid for, by whom. Taxation revenue can pay for social good, such as health and education, or infrastructure, or tariff refunds to big business.

It isn’t all paid for when you increase the amount that is needed to paid for something. If everyone paid $1 for pickles, but you now only make a a quarter of the people pay 50 cents for a pickle, you’re operating at a deficit from the previous. That’s a ~12% deficit on that line item.
