During the American Revolution even the most ignorant peasants understood that someone taking their money from them without their consent was unacceptable.

Now most people accept the state taking 40-60% of our money through taxation (add inflation and it gets worse) and using that money in ways we never consented to, such as funding wars and sending our money overseas. It also funds such wonderful things as illegal government surveillance, imprisoning people for having the wrong plants, and poisoning people with experimental vaccines.

The colonists revolted over a tiny tax by today's standards, meanwhile we are practically enslaved and we just roll over and let the state fuck us in the ass with no lube as they whisper some bullshit about a "social contract " that you are supposedly bound to based solely on where you were born.

You are not even allowed to exit this contract, if you leave the country you still have to pay taxes no matter where you reside. Only one other country (although a third will be soon, France I think) does this.

Take a moment and think about how fucked up it is that you have to work to fund evil instead of funding your own family.

Some idiot in the peanut gallery is going to say it's not enslavement because we elect representatives who then decide what the funds are used for.

To that I will say, the majority of those who actually vote pick representatives who never represent their actual interests and instead lie their faces off to get elected. After election they proceed to serve the interests of corporations and the ruling class. In a representational democracy, the minority and those who don't vote have no input, and most voting Americans are quite literally stupid thanks to the horrible indoctrination camps known as public schools. So when you subtract non voters you have a minority of the total population choosing corrupt politicians based on feels who then spend our money on evil.

There is no representation. It's all fake. It's a LARP designed to make you feel better about your enslavement. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
