Once upon a time the law of the jungle ruled human interaction. Tribes and clans were formed to protect what mattered most. Hunting grounds, farming lands and their women and children. Tribes begat Monarchies, Republics and Empires. Conquest and Slavery were the norm.
In 1776 a new nation was formed based on the same rules of conquest that Alexander perfected and Victoria claimed over India.
Since then, a new morality has taken root and slavery based on genetics was outlawed. But, The abhorrence of the whip combined with economic pressures of the empire has given way to the Enslavement of Everyone by way of Income Taxes; One insidious institution traded for another.
Taxation is Slavery and must be abolished.
Resteem if you agree.
It's not just income taxes though, it's every tax for everything imaginable. I don't mind paying a sales tax for specialty items or the gasoline tax that pays for road and highway maintenance, but everything else is just a wealth transfer in disguise. All government entities are private corporations operating for profit. Laws are not meant to prevent crime, they are passed to steal revenue from the everyday people
My point was that the elite traded one form of slavery (genetic) for another. Everyone.
Yep, I wholeheartedly agree
