Federal TAXES have turned us all into WAGE SLAVES on the government plantation

Time Text
Well, given that it's tax day, I thought I would offer you this important analysis of the purpose of taxes.
It's actually very simple in a big picture level.
So taxation is designed to take money away from people and create poverty, while money printing is the opposite.
It's designed to create money from nothing and hand it out to those that the regime wants to make wealthy.
And that's pretty much it.
That's it.
Taxation is not designed to fund the government in any way whatsoever.
I mean, it's a complete lie.
Anybody who tells you, oh, the government needs your tax money to fund itself and to build roads, I mean, are they idiots?
You'd have to be a complete idiot to believe that.
Number one, the government, of course, creates money whenever it wants.
It prints money.
I mean, it does it every time it's doing bailouts.
Bailout money.
So obviously they don't need your money.
The purpose of taxation is to keep you down and to prevent wealth mobility.
They don't want you to have options.
They don't want you to have enough.
They don't want you to have savings that you can count on so that you stop working, you see.
They don't want you to have free time on your hands.
You might get educated.
You might start a revolt against the tyrants and oppressors, you see.
They want to be so busy working and paying taxes and losing money on your dollars in the bank and panicking over inflation that you don't have time to think about an uprising or a revolt or anything of the kind.
It's just designed to keep you down.
Taxation is theft.
It's confiscation.
It's designed to keep you down.
Now, of course, the government doesn't want you to be able to control how your tax dollars are spent within the government either, you see.
Imagine if there were a taxation system where at least you had sort of a say in how your money is used.
Let's say that you were taxed to the tune of $100,000 or whatever.
And out of that $100,000, you could designate, oh, I want this much to go to, you know, the military.
I want this much to go to roads or this much to schools, whatever.
You know, that would be a disaster for the government because no one would want their taxes to go to the FBI or the DOJ or the FDA or the CDC or interest on the debt.
But what if you could designate that?
What if we, the people, had programmable money so that the government could only spend our tax dollars in ways that we determined?
Where we say, hey, no money to buy healthcare for illegal aliens.
How about that?
That would be programmable money where we control how it's spent.
But instead, the government is trying to implement exactly the inverse of that, which is government programmable money to control how you spend your own money that you already earned.
That's called central bank digital currencies, CBDCs.
And that's what's coming.
A digital currency surveillance and control grid.
You will be enslaved by the mark of the beast digital money system.
So when the government takes money from you, they get to spend it however you want.
But when you make money, you're not allowed to spend it the way you want.
Because, of course, you're a slave to the system.
You're living on a slave plantation, a financial plantation, regardless of your skin color.
We're all slaves under this system, by design.
Dare I say we are all slaves on the digital cotton plantations of the government massa.
And I know that's going to bring up all kinds of Horrible memories of slavery.
But that's my point.
Slavery never ended.
It only expanded.
Now, you think slavery in America was just people of color picking cotton in the South plantations.
Think again.
I mean, it has expanded to people of every color, every race, every gender, in every state, everywhere across the country.
We are all slaves on the digital cotton plantation.
Because you don't control the product of your labor.
Anymore than did the slaves in Alabama or wherever the slaves were, all the cotton plantations throughout the South during the pre-Civil War era.
You don't control the product of your labor today.
It's taken from you.
It's confiscated.
And then the government massa also tells you that you're not allowed to learn things.
You're not allowed to read certain things because, well, it's censorship now.
Just like in the slave plantation days, they would tell slaves, oh, you're not allowed to learn to read.
Can't have literacy.
That might allow slaves to learn and read and argue for their release and maybe become attorneys and argue in the courts.
Oh, can't have that, right?
Well, what is it today?
Can't let people learn the truth about vaccines or the truth about the financial system.
Can't let people learn the truth about World War III and the rigged election in 2020.
See, it's the same thing.
It's forced illiteracy, except today it's done through Google and Facebook and YouTube and White House censorship, LinkedIn, you name it, all these platforms, including Twitter.
So in the 1850s, it was done under threat of being physically and violently whipped or punished or chained by Today it's done under threat of being blacklisted, censored, defamed, deplatformed, fired from your job, and so on and so forth.
It's the same system, it's just more sophisticated and way bigger than it ever was before during the actual slave plantation days.
You are a slave, Neo.
What's the quote from The Matrix?
You were born into a prison system.
The prison of your mind, you can't even see the bars of the prison because it's a prison you were born into.
You don't even recognize it.
That's true for most Americans.
They can't see the bars of the prison.
They think that, oh, they have to pay their taxes to fund the government, to provide the services that we need, the schools and the roads.
No.
No, federal money barely touches any of those projects.
Most of the federal money goes to, well, frankly, you know, entitlement programs and interest on the debt and military budget, which goes to private weapons contractors that make a killing by making weapons that carry out killing for, you know, provoked wars, wars that didn't need to happen but were provoked by the West.
The whole system is rigged against all of us.
It's so rigged, in fact, that even as the dollar loses value and inflation goes up, wage inflation also increases, which will slide you into a higher and higher tax bracket.
That's right.
So they're going to collect more of your money because each dollar that you earn is worth less and less.
So you're going to end up paying higher and higher percentages of your income That you work for, they're going to take it from you by force.
And do you realize that if you do the math, the total taxation burden on a person is something like 80% of their income?
You might think, no, how can that be?
I'm only paying 30%, let's say, to the federal government, and then there's another 10% to the state.
That's only 40%, except that all the products you purchase are overpriced because of the taxation of the corporations.
So you're paying taxes indirectly through higher priced goods because those companies are paying taxes.
They're paying inventory taxes, business taxes, payroll taxes.
Oh yeah, and also you're paying Social Security taxes and Medicare taxes and so on.
Then you're paying property taxes, which is a form of rent for the property that you think you own.
And then on top of that, you're also paying your own business inventory taxes and retail sales taxes if you actually own a company or you sell anything, including at a farmer's market.
And if you purchase gasoline or diesel, you're also paying taxes on the gas.
There's nothing that you consume that isn't touched by taxes multiple times in the supply chain because the government wants a piece of every transaction.
Every transaction.
But the biggest tax of all in the long run is, of course, the erosion of the dollar.
The dollar has lost something like, what, 96% of its value since 1971?
Something in that range.
And since 1913, the creature from Jekyll Island, the dollar has lost, what is it, 99% of its value?
How's that for a tax?
Oh, we won't take everything you own.
We'll only take 99%.
So these are the invisible taxes that most people don't calculate because they don't understand how money printing or expansion of the money supply is a form of taxation and theft.
So if someone sits down in a spreadsheet, tries to figure out all the taxes they pay, federal, state, property taxes, gasoline taxes, taxes on retail sales taxes, taxes on the goods that they bought, those manufacturers had to pay taxes and so on, they wouldn't come to 80%.
You have to factor in the tax of money creation, which is the final tax.
That's how they get you in the end.
Everything you hold in dollars will go to zero eventually.
And right now it's heading there rather quickly.
And if you pay tax on money and then you save that money and you decide to invest it into other people's businesses through the stock market, for example, and then you earn a return on that, well, guess what?
You pay taxes on that gain, capital gains tax, which the Biden regime wants to raise to, what, 28%.
So you don't even get to keep a significant portion of the gain that you made in the stock market But if you lose money in the stock market, the government doesn't pay you back.
So it's like you're at a casino, you're playing blackjack.
And if you win the hand, the government's like, give us our share.
If you lose a hand, the government's like, ah, you're on your own.
Good luck.
Sorry about that loss there, buddy.
And those of you who own a business, you know that the government makes you pay taxes on profits that don't even exist.
Because they won't let you write off expenditures that you've had to make.
For example, when we pour concrete to expand our building, we might spend $500,000 on concrete.
That's a business expense, right?
You should be able to deduct that because you just spent all that money.
You shouldn't have to pay taxes on that money.
You spent it.
It's gone.
It's the cost of doing business.
But no, no, no.
The IRS says you can't write all that off.
You have to use like a 20 or 30-year depreciation of that write-off.
You can only write off like 1 20th of that concrete cost this year, which means that we're going to count the rest of the money that you spent on the concrete.
We're going to count that as profit.
Even though you don't have that profit, it doesn't exist.
You don't even have that cash because you spent it on the concrete.
But the IRS says, no, no, that's profit.
So go ahead.
Pay tax on $475,000 worth of profit that you don't have.
And you're like, where am I going to get the money to pay the tax on that?
Oh, that's your problem.
We're the IRS. We don't care where you get it.
But you better get it or we'll just seize it.
After this society collapses, which, you know, mercifully is coming soon, because the human suffering that's caused by this system is just immeasurable.
But if we are to have a free and fair society, there should be no mandatory taxation whatsoever.
Government services should be engaged on a voluntary basis.
Oh, if you want to If you want to use the roads, you can pay a toll on the roads.
If you want to send your kid to the school, yeah, you can contribute to that school.
If you think the FBI is doing great work, then you can make a donation to the FBI. That's fine.
But none of this should be coerced.
In fact, the original taxation laws or rules in the Constitution said that the federal government could only tax imports.
That's it.
Just imports.
It's an import tax.
Goods coming into the country?
Yeah, okay.
You can tax that because you control the borders, or at least, you know, theoretically.
Not anymore.
But there was nothing in the original Constitution that allowed the government to extract income taxes from the population at large.
And when the tax was even first introduced in that way, it was supposed to be something like a 3% tax only on the wealthiest people in society, like the uber wealthy at that time.
And that's what was actually passed by the Senate and the House and legislative bodies early on in the 20th century.
And then, of course, it expanded and expanded and expanded to the point where now it's just massive taxation of everything.
And you're just working on a slave plantation for the government, Massa.
That's where we are now.
That's why I find it fascinating that California wants to pay slave reparations to people of color living today who were never slaves under, you know, plantations.
But there's no discussion of the federal government paying reparations to the actual financial slaves, wage slaves, that all of us are.
If you're working for a living, you're a wage slave.
No reparations for that.
That one would be easy.
Give us our money back.
How about that?
How about they add up all the federal taxes you ever paid and they just give it back to you?
Plus interest.
And real interest.
Real cost of living adjustments.
Not the BS 2% or 6%.
No.
Inflation is like 15-20% right now.
Maybe more.
Give us back compounded 20% interest.
How about that?
Give us back all the money we ever paid to the system.
That would be reparations.
And frankly, everybody would do well.
Of course, that is, you know, until the prices showed up at the grocery store because everything would go up 10 times because too much money flooding the system.
But at least the money would be in our hands instead of the government's hands.
But ultimately, you have to just stop the money printing because that's the source of this problem.
You have a Federal Reserve that isn't federal.
It's not owned by the government.
It's not run by the government.
We don't get to elect the people that run it in any way whatsoever.
And they just print money, well they print debt.
They print currency, which is debt.
That's the source of the problem.
Until we get to an honest money system, no one will ever be free.
No wage earner will ever be free to keep the product of their labor, which by definition means we are all slaves.
So until we own the product of our labor, we are not free men and women.
And I aim to help create a free society.
And what's clear to me is that a free society will have to have a system of money that cannot be controlled by the government.
Think about that.
Think about that.
What system of money cannot be controlled by the government?
That is, it's impossible for the government to control it.
Well, it has to be, by definition, a decentralized money system.
It has to be a system powered by we the people, rather than dominated and run by the government and its cronies and its cartel crooks, banksters, you name it.
So obviously it can't be a national currency.
It has to be something different.
It has to be, well, an alternative currency.
It has to be something that can be traded easily and quickly and seamlessly across national borders.
Something that in the digital age can actually be transmitted electronically and cleared electronically.
Huh.
I wonder if systems like that exist.
And they do.
They do exist.
And they're becoming more mature every day.
And they're called privacy coins, by the way.
And as I do more research into privacy coins, I've become more and more of a fan of this kind of system, which I think will serve as the system once the Western financial system completes its controlled demolition.
The dollar will go to zero.
Western banks will collapse.
Western governments will implode.
And rising out of the ashes of that catastrophic event, People will need something that works, something that can't be confiscated, something that allows them to keep the product of their labor.
Guess what that would be?
Oh, that's right.
Privacy coins.
Digital currency powered by we the people.
And probably a pretty good mix of local gold and silver or even gold-backed currencies or silver-backed currencies, you know, basically receipts for silver, you know.
Pieces of paper that can be traded for gold or silver, that kind of thing.
That works locally, but beyond locally, it's got to be something digital, so it might be a combination of those two things.
But after people lose everything with the currency collapse, I pray to God they're not dumb enough to go back into another new currency launched by the government, because we've repeated that cycle hundreds of times throughout human history.
And so far, everybody keeps going back to the government and save us!
Yeah, the same people that just stole all your money?
You think they're going to save you?
What, with their rescue plan?
Their rescue plan is to take everything you own and then give you some new currency that's worth nothing.
It's rescuing the government.
It's not rescuing you.
The bailouts are to bail out the hucksters that run the banks and the governments.
They're not bailing you out.
They're bailing themselves out.
Every once in a while, they have to bail you out as a matter of course to bail themselves out, but their motivation is not bailing you out.
Their motivation is defending their cartel.
So watch for the collapse here, folks, and make sure you are up to speed on the technologies that I'm talking about.
Make sure you know about gold and silver.
Make sure you know about privacy coins.
Make sure you know about digital transactions and digital wallets.
Make sure you know how to use mobile apps.
Make sure you are literate in all these areas because the day is coming that this is going to spell the difference between financial survival and financial doom.
For a lot of people, if you're mobile and nimble and informed, you may be able to avert the worst fallout of what's coming.
But for those who are oblivious and uninformed, they will be herded off the cliff with the masses.
And they will lose everything.
Don't be one of those people.
