"The endless leaching in the form of income taxes will be a hard battle to win, but it is coming. If we want true freedom, we need to detach from the government..."
There are several reasons that just government would never impose a tax on wages, but they are immaterial because the USA is not a just government. The imposition of the federal income tax was undertaken during Christmas break, when important legislators were not present. Further, even the illegitimate passage of that legislation was never lawfully ratified by the requisite number of states. Finally, if you dig into the actual code of the claimed law that imposes a federal tax on wages, there is no actual direct statement that paying such tax is compulsory. When faced with legal challenges, however, the special tax courts that hear such cases have ubiquitously denied relief.
Income, like vaccination more recently, has been redefined to include wages. In 1913 income was profits, dividends, and similar rentier remuneration, and did not include hourly wages or salaries. The IRS just employs tyrannical tactics that it claims to have authority to impose, and the tax courts simply declare such actions lawful and the victims of the tyranny are deprived of assets and means of challenging the seizures and sentences imposed on those victims.
While Robber Barons and Banksters have long corrupted and degraded American government, as such has always been done everywhere that state power has been claimed to exist, a whole new paradigm of tyranny was imposed in 1913 with the delivery of the money creation power claimed to inure to Congress to private parties (the Fed) and the imposition of federal tax on wages. History reveals the increasingly onerous and bloodthirsty tyranny that has been undertaken by American federal government ever since, starting with WWI and the culling of the young men of their generation.
The mental gymnastics and convoluted irrationalization of jurisprudence and legislative power has continually reduced freedom and justice through increasing despotic tyranny and deranging indoctrination and propaganda. A significant portion of citizens do not understand that just governmental authority is delegated to government by they themselves, and derives only from their personal human rights. Worse, far more do not care they are so misled because of the depth of their psychological impairment and state of dependence on authority.
We are left to face the fact that those who cannot or will not undertake to seize their sovereignty and defend it have become chattel, not only preferring slavery to the responsibility for their own felicity, but willing to wage war against those that do not capitulate. Compounding and conflating this army of slaves enforcing slavery are those like Karel van Wolferen (@52:30), who mistake the ejection of Russia from the global financial system as a step towards decentralization and the restoration of independence, when it is in fact how nations will be subjugated by the NWO that is replacing the international system globally. The populations and property of the world cannot belong to the New World Order if they belong to the Old World Order, after all.
We who reject all tyranny from whatever source or legal theory claiming to justify it, whether of necessity or convenience, who undertake to create ourselves our independent means by virtue of our own actions and understanding, willing only to cooperate with peers and neither subjugate nor be subjugated by others, are whom will either surmount our challenges and deliver to our posterity that freedom and self sufficiency we create, or fail to do so.
All roads lead to Rome, it was once said. I note that all rabbit holes lead to the nexus of financial corruption and tyranny overlords are hell bent on. Once that hellish nexus is grasped there is only one way out: independent means. Any dependence on centralization is vulnerability that will be used to forcibly subjugate us to implacable overlords that will accept only complete capitulation.
We will be as free as we make us. Make your freedom by creating your prosperity.
There is an endless litany of government corruption and coercion with the goal of leaching off the doers of society.
I think the end of that has begun. I don't think it will ever go away completely, but open source and decentralized technology have given us the first-ever tools to change the power dynamic from top-down to bottom-up.
These tools have created a world where they just can't hide like they use to. These tools are also eliminated the perceived need for them also.
It really is a great time to be alive.
