Here, let's make it easy.
I have 10 bitcoin.
I give you 1 bitcoin.
The government uses the public ledger and advanced analysis capabilities (and you're delusional if you think Lightning will protect you) to find out.
The government demands I pay them 0.1 bitcoin as a tax. Because of reasons.
If I don't do it, they send people will guns to handle the situation and serve as a warning to others.
No dollars involved in this scenario.
