Sounds Like a Tea Party

As a long time dissenter of the American tax system I have heard multiple rationalizations for compliance.
People don’t like being told they have just done something foolish.
They feel justified by turning the finger away from themselves and pointing out why dissent is wrong.
The first obvious response I hear is that one will go to jail.
To which I say, possibly but only if you’re caught lying.
The Irony is lost on most in this scenario.
Liars jailing those calling out the lies.
In addition to that, most tax filers fudge about the numbers they use so by default the whole program has generated a system of lies based upon lies.
And if you haven’t lied, congratulations for trying to be truthful.
You got robbed the most.
The next comment I hear the most is a type of gaslighting.
People point out that I shouldn’t use the roads because our taxes pay for them, therefore I shouldn’t expect to be able to use them.
This comment never surprises me but is always a revelation at how naive we Americans are at where and how our tax system ‘works’..
To respond to this idea directly, one should know that our roads are funded through taxes collected at the gas pump.
Each state varies but my state has one of the highest rates at .494 cents per gallon.
It doesn’t matter how much the actual gasoline cost, the .494 cents will be collected according to volume, by the gallon.
This way the state can get a consistent amount despite the distributor or market rate.
Clever. No percentages here.
At our current gas rate, that comes to about 12% on the dollar that we pay in tax at the pump.
As the petroleum prices go down the tax percentage will actually go up without any legislation at all.
An average fill up of a car takes 10 to 12 gallons of gas.
12 gallons of gas equates to $5.92 in taxes no matter what the current price of gas is.
That is quite a lot when you really look at it.
The tax rate on groceries and services is also amongst the highest here with a combination of state and federal tax at 9.63 %.
The state rate varies from 6.5 % to 8.9% depending on your location and industry but you get the idea.
And then there is the fact that money has already gotten taxed even before you arrived to buy gas and groceries.
Let’s take a look at what a work week earning $500 means.
Currently withholding amounts can hit as much as 37%.
Earned income of $500 calculates out to be $315 take home.
Fill up the car once and you will have about $270 left.
Go get groceries, if you’re frugal enough you can still have $170 bucks plus one bag of groceries.
We haven’t even gotten to the costs of rent, utilities, car payment or clothes, dentist, or the much needed beer at the pub.
Most people are not fairing very well.
Of that paycheck the total taxation so far comes to almost $200.
More than you have left in your pocket for basic survival.
Every time you spend money there is a tax.
This tax is paid with money that has already been taxed.
That money goes into the system to pay another employee that is taxed on that same dollar.
And the cycle begins again.
By the time a single dollar goes into circulation it is taxed beyond its value so many times it boggles the mind.
Does Ponzi scheme come to mind? On steroids!
My disillusionment has also been with where our tax money goes.
Isn’t it supposed to help our infrastructure and social programs?
It is easy to become skeptical when you consider the poor condition our roads are in.
Or the amount of homeless that are on the streets.
The drug use and mental illness rampant on the streets are supposed to have programs that are helping, not making it worse.
Now because of DOGE we are finding out where our tax money has been going.
If you weren’t outraged by the poverty algorithm running within the taxation process already, maybe now you can finally grasp the extent of this deception.
So why is it that so many people are busy preparing their taxes?
Once again I seem to be a dissenter among a disgruntled but loyal tax abiding population.
I am not here to tell people what to do.
Nor would I say you shouldn’t file your taxes. especially if you’re entitled to a refund.
But did you not hear the guy?!
The IRS is a fraudulent organization.
They are crooks and they have invented rules, selling them as laws and taking money from you that has already been taxed for eternity.
At the very least, file for an extension and wait and see what plays out.
I am not opposed to the idea of taxes. Just as I am not opposed to the idea of vaccines.
I am opposed to lies and deceit.
I believe in audits when there has been lack of truth.
Truth in our society seems to have many layers in which it has been hidden.
Vaccines could be a truth. But let’s get down to the base layer of truth on that.
We wouldn’t need them if we were not exposed to toxins disguised as disease to begin with.
The truth has been so buried we have built our lives, our routines, our beliefs stacked high on a hill of quicksand.
Do you recall the cartoons of old that showed a character running out into thin air, only to pause a minute, look down and realize there was nothing holding them up?
Yeah, that’s the ah-ha moment we should be in.
And yet what I am witnessing is people trying so very desperately to continue business as usual.
No one wants us to fall flat. That may be why things in the new administration are happening the way they are.
Nesara is in full swing. Next year this whole scenario will be totally different.
I am considering how one would file taxes this year.
I am wondering if there will be an item line to consider all of the redundant taxes that have already been paid.
Property tax, utilities, food, clothes, and children shouldn’t be allowances.
Perhaps they could be a write off in absolute values.
Anything that is a natural condition of living shouldn’t be taxed or an ‘allowance’.
Aren’t we born into existence as natural and free?
One would think this was the case, but no.
Somehow being born has been monetized by a system that WAS beyond our control.
If we are to continue taking care of our children let’s follow through with the whole of it.
We are going to get this straightened out but it takes all of us.
We need everyone to pause for a minute and really take a look at where truth lies.
Look at your feet. Where have you been standing?
Where is the lie that you have based your reality upon?
It’s there. Not hidden. Disguised, but in plain sight, it’s there.
Find it and then let go of the fear it feeds you.
Be strong. Be courageous.
Stop making it personal.
This takes a community.
We can and will do this together.
I heard dividend, didn’t you?
