Taxes support the tyranny of government as they are a means to control the slaves. Are your tax dollars working for you? Yes, as they keep building your prisons...both physical and mental.

So True! Remember DOGE, which is the title of a Venetian Tyrant Ruler, is only going back to the disastrous Biden 4 years and not Trump's 4 years, Obama's 8 years or W Bush's 8 years. I know they have to start somewhere but will they go back further? Doubtful.

In the end their Strategy is the Plutocracy Technocracy takes over most of government. So this does not end well. Biden was a disaster specifically for the reaction to move in Trump, BS Right/Left Paradigm Theater for ever until there is an Dictator.

There is always hope, but I suspect you are correct that much of what we are seeing is just kabuki bunkum.

After DOGE discovered all of the fraud and theft we are paying for, it’s hard to see the withholding in my meager paycheck. USAID is a disgrace. It’s amazing the people robbing our tax dollars are paying of local federal activist Marxist judges to stop them from being exposed and to continue to steal from the taxpayer. They are mad and going after the people that caught them, amazing!!

What D.O.G.E. discovered was nothing new that we already knew about.

I'll take it. For the same reasons that the lyrics and message are spot on. I'm a fan of the genre either. I trade this one with you though. Hillbilly Thunderstruck.

Not my favorite genre either, although I have to admit this was kinda catchy and love the spirit of the guys and the message. It was this exact spirit and train of thought that made my decision to do whatever it took to do my best to stop funding this evil. The vote of the majority cannot make black actually change to white and it can't make something wrong into something right or something criminal into something righteous and moral.

Thanks for pointing this out. Would be great to see more artists pick up on the universal themes that are part of the freedom movement. For those that want to follow these concepts to their logical conclusions see here... https://appliedlibertarian.substack.com/p/thinking-outside-the-state?r=ad948

Will Zoll, Substack writer/creator of PrussiaGate recently posted a trilogy entitled Scamocracy, part III. The rather longish read details the sordid history of taxation (often hidden) & its many variants - levies, fees, surcharges, tolls. tariffs, administrative fees, custom & excise duties, assessments and more!

Sales taxes, sin taxes, carbon tax, income tax, etc., etc. All designed, administered and enforced by soulless, faceless bureaucrats with firearms. Our lives are getting smaller & greyer by the day. And to add insult to injury many governments, ever more desperate for more control are actively considering central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) Where or when will it ever end?

Its become patently apparent that democracy is indeed the God that failed us, as Hans Hermann Hoppe wrote in his book. Find it at Mises.org

The Hoppe book was the pivot point for me.

But do not despair. We need to work harder. They are strong, but we are many.

Taxation is slavery - as You have pointed out - and I agree the genre is not My fave. But except for the clinging to the idea We NEED money at all, which kinda put Me off, the overall message is good.

Of course, We do not need to account for Our energy input into a system anymore. It is an archaic practice. The moneyed psychopaths whose only tool to power is money hide the tech that makes it passé.

I seem to recall that you have made your feelings on this matter clear once or twice in the past! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Maybe things will come to pass as you envision them. But in a truly free society, if people wish to create voluntary means of exchange, they are, and ought to be, free to do so.

I agree. My point is that statistically all of Us are chained and controlled by money, and it is an archaic tool. That removing the NEED for it will return to Us the wealth that was stolen from Us…
