i never had it confirmed.. but in my mind they get not just 40% or whatever the tax rate is of the money , but they get it ALL. . Because if i pay 40% tax and spend the other 60% then 40% of that 60% gets taxed etc etc . SO within just a few steps they basically have everything!
ANd if that is not enough they want it even faster so they make more taxes to speed it up..
it never ceases to amaze me that people pay it really,, even though we have no choice or whatever.
Yes it is insane, but we are all trained (brainwashed) from very young to believe in this system and constantly imbued with fear (of freedom/no government) so that we accept ... or even demand ... or own enslavement.
Luckily it seems that some are born with a more sturdy moral compass than others, it is up to them to not stand idle and to help fix the corrupted morals of those around them :)
