> The only answer lies in eviscerating their budgets, abolishing their enabling legislation, and encouraging aggressive lawfare against the regime in retribution for these agencies’ many crimes.
"Today, these organizations spend their time exploiting the taxpayers for ever larger budgets, for ever more power to spy on Americans, and new ways to trick those same Americans into supporting the regime's latest wars.
"They are, simply put, the regime's secret police, devoted to building the regime's power."
The US #GovtIsTheProblem
Do not lend to the state.
What if it's not a loan? What if they demand it, with threats of violence if you don't pay them?
If the government was covering expenditures with taxes the world would be a better place. Deficit spending is the most evil of all. I’m against all of it but the e point remains that they care less about taxes when they can print.
I often hear the question "why does the government even tax when they can just print money?", but I think the two are tied together. The real value of the money printed comes from the labor of people that is forcibly extracted from them by taxation. The dollar is not backed by nothing, as I see it; rather, it is backed by the ability of the U.S. government to take money/value from it's subjects (called "citizens").
This is why the Federal Reserve Bank, which prints the money, was created the same year the income tax was passed in 1913. They were both necessary components to give the State the funding it sought to carry on wars, fund government corruption and largesse, and bypass the will of The People, etc.
If they couldn't extract real value from people (called taxes), they couldn't keep printing money because it would soon be seen as worthless, and other nations and creditors would stop buying U.S. bonds and loaning the U.S. money.
If Americans stopped funding the U.S. government (meaning they stopped paying taxes), that could possibly bring it down. But Americans are indoctrinated to believe taxes are just a necessary part of life, together with death... 🤨
Just to be clear I want all of the above to be gone, it is as you say all criminal activity.
The fed is there to promote moral hazard and for the world at large to pay the price.
