Wait, the U.S.A. is the "Land of the Free," right?

that was the American Republic

not the America Corp aka US corp it switched too

afaik lol (read that the other day)

Oh yeah, that 20% benchmark was established by an ancient jewish rentseeker who I think can be said to be the first documented central banker. There was more than just this one tax involved, it was a whole usurious racket. The egyptians loved it of course.

Thankfully by chance right during this period there was a massive eruption in the islands across the Agean that rained hell down on the Egyptians, killing massive numbers of them and their garbage grain crops. But of course the fallout from it was documented as being an Act of God against precisely this human traficking business.

Also note, that part of what made it so bad was the consequences of this system leading to famine and glut as the royalty of course mismanaged things telling the people what to do.

I forget the details exactly, there was a good article about it on https://mises.org Joseph, the first central banker. Or some close approximation of this.

I think I've heard of that article on Joseph, possibly by Frank Chodorov. I hate to admit that the story of Joseph recommending to pharaoh a divinely inspired plan of 20% taxation that ends up making the Egyptians slaves of the state has long bothered me. Perhaps God allowed it as a preemptive punishment of the Egyptians for eventually enslaving his people Israel? 🤷🏽

This always bothered me too. I still don't have an answer other than sometimes the Bible is descriptive rather than prescriptive in nature.

My answer to that is the Pentateuch is a Phonecian story and they penetrated zee cabinets to become the ruling class of the Jews.

I mean, look at the rest of the books. Deuteronomy, Numbers... the most fascist set of rules you ever saw.

I have faith in a merciful God, not the bloodthirsty "Jehovah". The one Jesus takes about. Not the false one.

It is plain deception to say that roman politicians turned christian wore unbiased in their curation.

They literally banned The Book of Enoch. And half of Jesus' sayings are in Enoch.

They have been lying to you all, and the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls is the unsealing of the Word of God and the detailed information of how to recognise and respond to the many other signs.

Ruling class of what now? I’m afraid false cored social constructs are not a class to rule.

Special case when wrong, Loki.

Corruption and incompetence simply can’t rule

It's a tyranny because the pharaoh demanded two parts in ten, twice what God required of the Hebrews. Our wonderful and amazing leadership require three, though, and I for one am proud to pay my fair share 🤡

taxation is involuntary theft aka slavery

the turning point against black slavery was the elites realizing they could enslave every race
