There's a difference between being born into slavery (taxation) and voting in the slave masters.
You are correct Michelle.
I would point out however that the money we pay in taxes doesn't really go toward roads, bridges, tanks, schools, or abortions.
The Fed prints money out of thin air. We have a fiat currency not backed by anything really except the soon to vanish petrol dollar and waining military might.
The average American has a very quaint notion of how the economy actually works. They go to the local farmer's market, hand over some money and get a bag of tomatoes. They think the government acts the same way but on are far large scale. The money you earn which is sent to the IRS isn't bundled together with everyone else's then handed over to such and such a department to pay its salaries. There isn't a safety deposit box in some cavernous building with all the money awaiting you from what you paid into social security. The Fed just prints that.
Same goes with the bank you took out your mortgage with. With fractional reserve banking, a bank can lend you money to buy a house that it doesn't actually even have. But it will tack on interest.
It's just numbers on a computer.
No person you know could ever get away with the way the government and banks operate.
The average person hears about our 37 TRILLION debt and then sees congress hand out billions to other countries like it was chump change. Yet, the politicians don't seem the least bit perturbed by this debt. Every wonder why?
The reasons are manifold but they know this system is unsustainable and designed to collapse.
This will provide the pretext for a CBDC, central bank digital currency, another integral part of the beast system.
