>Response to any political discussion:

Let’s end modern slavery first.

*but we don’t have slavery today?!*

What is slavery? -One definition is forced work without pay.

*but we get paid for working*

If you get taxed at 20% then you work without pay for 1 day a week.

If you are taxed at 40% then you work for 2 days a week without pay.

What is force? -One example is the threat of violence until you comply. If you do not pay these taxes, eventually you WILL face violence and imprisonment. The state owns a monopoly on violence and uses the threat of it to make you comply.

*what about entitlements for the poor?* The programs of government do not help people. They do not lift people out of poverty- gov programs contribute to poverty rates overall. The most effective safety net programs are local food banks and charitable housing programs. Neither of which use federal tax money to operate.

*no taxes would be unsustainable*

Under the current system poor people get poorer and working people either become rentseekers or they also become poorer. -is that sustainable?

>Modern slavery is financial slavery to the state and the only political objective that Free People should be concerned about is to end slavery once and for all.
