Taxes are a method of control. They are used to crush you and make you run on the treadmill to conform to the diktats of those who control the money supply. Oligarchs don’t pay taxes, politicians skate on their taxes with no significant penalty. The government doesn’t need your money because money is debt created by the issue of credit by the central bank. The central bank can create money out of thin air, or not, as it suits their purposes. The debt is inflated away, a hidden tax the politicians don’t have to justify in fact they can “fight” inflation and earn brownie points. It’s a global ponzi scheme and you’re the mark.
They live we sleep.
I’d rather be rich, the truth of cash is tragic,
The system’s a bitch, but money works like magic.
