Taxing The Middle
To fund The WHOLE WHINY WORLD
I had the fortune/misfortune to get my tax information from the accountant yesterday.
I have said for years that if everyone had to sit down and write a check, or Paypal or Venmo their tax ‘payment’ to the US government, there would have been Tea Party 2.0 long ago. But automatic withholding is semi-painless. And we rejoice when we actually believe we are getting a refund of our own money that the government withholds steals from us. We pretend it is bonus money instead of money that has been laundered and sent back to us, shrunken and shriveled by 2/3. Just like when you used the washing machine for the first time when you were 12 and you could no longer fit in your Dittos.
So, our forced hostage payments, so kindly withheld by our employer and sent to their handlers, is a problem. For years I have thought it would be a good idea to check a box telling the government where we wanted our money to be spent. But that was before. When I thought paying taxes for the privilege of living here was the price paid for liberty and freedom.
And today? I am just disgusted. You know the old saying? “The more you know, the more you want to puke?” I just made that up, but I am sure it is a quote somewhere by someone way smarter than me.
How many times is a dollar taxed? A shit-ton.
As I look at the numbers, I want to revolt because it is revolting.
We could have used that 16K in federal withholding they stole. Instead, the government chose to fund Guatemalan transgender opera with our money. Are you kidding me?
That is just ONE THING. We are throwing all this money at the world for the most stupid, evil crap you can imagine. And now we know how bad it really was. They stole it from us and I want all my money back. Period. From the time I was 0 days old to infinity…I want it ALL back.
The good news is they are pulling the greasy, tangled hair of USAID through a lice comb. Hard. And you can hear their pain. More more more! Cry harder! Don’t care! Someone get the gasoline!
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that 83% of United States Agency for International Development (USAID) contracts will officially be canceled. I can’t love this enough.
“After a 6 week review we are officially cancelling 83% of the programs at USAID,” Rubio wrote on X. “The 5200 contracts that are now cancelled spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, (and in some cases even harmed), the core national interests of the United States.”
All taxation is meant to increase a slave's dependence on their slavery, as the people taking the tax away from the slaves print the money themselves and therefore don't have any use for it. Taxation is about keeping the slave down. That's it. Taxation has one purpose and one purpose only.
To make the slave dependent on coming back to the modern plantations of slavery, day in and day out. If the slave starts to save their money, give them a TV full of negative role modelling and watch the slave magically go into debt. If the slave still has money, organize a stock market crash or increases the taxes (theft). The people who print the money, have no use for extra fake paper money, which they can print at anytime and in any quantity they desire. The entire drive of the tax system is to make sure the slave has no extra money, as to provide them with enough freedom to figure any of this out.
"The more you know the more you puke." lol. That's a keeper. Good vent and I don't think anyone should pay criminals anything but I know too the criminals are still - sorta in - charge.
