What Happened?

[ResistanceInOceania]

Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries, then
Tax his tears.

Tax the road,

Tax the street,

Tax the ground

beneath his feet.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.

Tax all he has
Then let him know,
You won't be done
Till he has no dough.

Tax the rivers,

Tax the streams

Then let him know,

You'll tax his dreams.

Tax the snow

Tax the rain,

Don't let taxes

Leave his brain.

When he screams and hollers,
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.

Put these words
upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me
to my doom..."

When he's gone,
Do not relax,
It's time to pay
The inheritance tax.

COMMENTS: Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.


We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.


What happened?

Federal Reserve Act of 1914:barf:
See Ya,
Uncle Jerry :biggrin:

[logos]

The whole tax mess really started shortly after the war between the states. At this time the nation was divided into 12 revenue districts and the Bureau of Internal Revenue was established. It is at this time the fictional corporate aspects of the legal/commercial Matrix really started to 'rev up.'

The Fed in 1913, the 1929 crash, and BK in 1933 were a case of the situation going from bad to worse.

[techsture]

we can trace it back to around 1215 im sure a proper historian could do a better job then me but im into economics.

After that its a case of Tonnage and poundage , custom duty and ship money tax circa 1600 that bowed down to the already fat bank of England.

The same modus operandi was used for the Central European bank you like to call the "Federal reserve" and here you are fucked. The worlds longest running joke is July 4th 1776 America was never independent it was contrived.

[logos]

True, America is still a British colony. Perhaps not in the political sense but it remains so via the legal/commercial entanglements that might never have been resolved. I wonder if it ended in 1999 when Clinton stated he was the last U.S. President.

Clinton was no dummy and presumably made that statement because at that point the Constitution was fulfilled (1789 + 3 BK periods @ 70yrs each) and thus the people could no longer be sureties for the debt to the Crown. I wonder if that means the Republic is gone with the U.S. Corporation remaining as a shell.
