(Listen to audio version of me reading👆)
During the 2012 US presidential election I thought that the country had figured it out…
We just had Obamacare shoved down all of our throats and officially turned to a socialist state.
I thought that freedom loving people had finally figured it out.
We were sick of the games that governments and banks were playing on us.
Destroying our currency and bailing out “too big to fail” entities at the expense of the people.
The Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street protests had been sweeping the nation for multiple years.
It seemed obvious as the crowds swarmed to Romney rallies and few showed up at Obama/Biden rallies.
The writing was on the wall.
And then it wasn’t.
Obama and Biden won again.
None of it added up.
I sat there for 24 hours with my jaw on the floor, I will never forget that feeling.
You could say it was similar to the 2020 election.
Not much adding up.
It only begs the question even more, who is pulling the strings and how?
I knew then that I must change, instead of waiting for everything or everyone else to change.
Hot mic
Mitt Romney was crucified for saying in a leaked private campaign donor event during the 2012 election; that he wasn’t worried about 47% of the population.
He wasn’t focused on campaigning to them.
They were the people who were on the government dole and not paying federal income taxes.
Did you know ~60% of the population doesn’t pay federal income taxes, now.
Therefore they are incentivized to vote for more politicians who give them more free things.
That wasn’t what Romney was campaigning on so he figured why spend time talking to those people?
Why spend your finite time on something that will give you little return?
Smart move until the media got a hold of it.
Where must those free things come from?
Well there’s only two places they can come from:
Other people’s time and energy (taxes) or printing the currency.
We know from their own testimony that the government doesn’t need taxes here in America
They have the currency printing machine in the basement.
Admittedly they only do it to coerce people and sway public opinion and punish people.
These are from their own words.
The average pleb doesn’t realize the game being played on them.
We have majority the country who has been successfully swindled into thinking that someone needs to pay taxes or doesn’t pay their fair share so is that affecting you and robbing you of your livelihood.
Now you would be right in the sense that when the government prints currency and then devalues every single dollar that someone has on them.
But someone not paying their taxes has zero effect on you directly.
The goal should be for everyone to pay zero taxes because that would mean everyone is operating and incentivized to do with the government is telling them to do.
The tax code is available for all people but most choose not to learn it and not to execute it.
What is your fair share?
As people are more and more dependent on the system it naturally causes them to be more reckless and aggressive on taking from those who produce and the “fair share” is continually increased.
The consumers who produce very little always need more and more to live on as inflation always is going up.
This is why there’s never a threshold talked about or agreed-upon.
Because the system requires a “debt death spiral” as James Lavish, Greg Foss, Lawrence Lappard, and Jeff Booth have made clear.
This doesn’t end until the entire economy finally implodes on itself in a full blown currency crisis.
“Fair share” is a dividing tool to that is used to campaign on to buy votes, not actually solve something.
Why do we know this? Because as we have shown, the government doesn’t need your taxes from their own words.
The government has a spending problem not a revenue collection problem
Before we had the nanny state and let government run everyone’s life we had very little to no taxes.
If you can wrap your head around the fact that the government themselves in America does not need your tax money and we spend trillions more per year than we take and then you can start to understand the gravity of the problems that lie ahead.
It is a fools errand to argue about who pays the most taxes are or who doesn’t pay taxes at all.
When the man who paid the most is at $10-12 billion in a year but you realize we’re trillions of dollars a year in deficit you can start understanding that you could strip all of the Forbes 400 of every single dollar net worth they have and it still would not even dent one year of the deficit the government is running.
Then what are you do next year when you’ve destroyed all the businesses and the owners of those companies?
Take apple. Google. Tesla. Twitter. Amazon. Take it all. Government owns it. Now worth a couple trillion dollars. Now you have to liquidate the businesses and get someone to buy them and now you pay for the deficit for a year.
Then what?
Producers flee and consumers get choked out
Beyond that when you force all the creators and producers to flea or they are not producing anything anymore you now have less of a tax base and less creativity.
What kind of productivity and standard of living are you now going to have in your country when the producers innovators creators and entrepreneurs are now gone from your country?
You’re going to resemble more of a Stone Age society and going back in time making everyone poor by the standard of living going down.
This is added on top of all the wealth destruction you have created and now not being able to fund your government anymore.
You would have to have a government now that prints it’s way out of everything and becomes a full banana republic destroying the currency within the next couple years completely as no one in their right mind around the world would buy your bonds and loan you any money since they know you have no one there that can pay it back.
All taxation is theft
We were a country founded because people have had enough with the taxation, bureaucracy, regulation, and lack of representation in their government.
This is one of the main reasons that people came over to the new world.
It’s time we start thinking of the ways we function in the past without taxes and new creative ways in the future where private citizens companies and organizations locally run what’s best for them and decentralized and harden our networks and logistics.
What about no say in representation without taxation?
I digress…
The more ideas we have the more robust we can be and the greater our strength.
Stay strong,
