Actually, it started out as a typo. I meant to type government. But, the more I thought about it, the more appropriate it became. Come tax time… what do you do with your money?
Yes… You will send it to the givernment to do as they please. You have absolutely no say in the matter.

I’m going to form a coalition to petition Merriam-Webster to change “Government” to “Givernment” because they’re all give and no govern.
