Taxed to Death, anyone else tired of this system?

Tell me about it. They took a thousand dollars out of my check for taxes last week. They tax our overtime like no tomorrow. I think it was Chris Rock who compared the Government to a crack head. They hit you ever time you get paid, only to come back at the end of the year saying, "Hey, let me get a lil bit more."
 
The whole concept of property taxes is very offensive as it negates any pretense of anyone outside the bloodlines actually owning land I mean if you could prepay at the level of decades to a century for the gov to leave you alone like britain leasing hong kong back in the day I wouldn't complain. It's just forcing people to participate in the fiat economy and not withdraw from the system if they in all other respects have the means to live self sufficiently.

While pretty libertarian I don't mind the other kinds of taxation nearly as much.

When my husband was alive he had a business. He paid taxes every month to the accountants even though he may have had a slow month or whatever. They already take out of your check what you get every week. It’s never ending.
There was a meme he saw on the internet that said, “I never knew you had to work so hard to be poor.”
No truer words spoken.
 
Thanks to Turdo we have a carbon tax in Kanada now. So when you pay this tax on your gas bill it has the GST (goods and services tax 5%) applied against it. So it's a tax on a tax. Is that enough taxation for you? Or how about the post office. Government funded (Taxpayer's money), then you buy the stamp, then you pay the GST on the stamp. A tax on a tax on a tax. Incredible eh?

Yeah, don’t pay property tax and your house and property go to sheriffs auction.
You never really own it. However at least in Illinois once you reach 65, you can get exemption from paying it.

I know, when I get my paycheck and see what the difference is between gross and net amount and than paying the GST on all the rest.
For the carbon tax it has impact on everything you buy since it applies to transport, farmers and producers.
I'm in BC and I pay carbon tax on natural gas for the heating and the carbon tax is higher than the actual cost of gas itself. The carbon tax is almost double the cost of gas itself.

In Kanada the most they'll give you in old age is a deferral and that's only if the municipality decides to extend that. And property taxes here are so ridiculously high that it adds up fast. So when you die, you be paying much tax from your estate. The kids won't be happy, that's for sure. :)

Of course if you don't have kids you place 10 pounds of C4 in the basement on a proximity fuse. Hopefully the mayor is with them when they come over to inspect and confiscate the house. Kidding...or am I...
 
There’s so much deserved hatred for the government for their corruption and evil. I dare say that not a few American citizens relish the thought of a Putin induced mushroom cloud over D C.
Nothing new, look how tax collectors and leaders were despised in Jesus day. This reality makes it seem an impossibility to follow Paul’s exhortation to Timothy but I suppose Jehovah wants us to do the impossible at times.
“First of all, then, I urge that petitions (specific requests), prayers, intercessions (prayers for others) and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all people, for kings and all who are in [positions of] high authority, so that we may live a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This [kind of praying] is good and acceptable and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who wishes all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge and recognition of the [divine] truth”.
1Tim.2.1-4
I have a lot of room for growth in this department, like a few dozen football stadium’s worth of room!

I beg your pardon, 65 years old is not old age kirmmy. That’s going by government standards. Oy vey! 🙄

The flaw in that 10 pounds of C4 plan kirmmy is that when you are are 65 or over, and have no kids to worry about, you wake up from the afternoon nap thinking what day is it and where the hell am I, and feeling hungry decide…. “now where did I leave my old hunting jacket, I’m gonna get me a wild Turkey for dinner. I bet I left it down in the basement………..”.

Man, never thought of it that way. That video really hits the point home.

The REAL reason for all these taxes is WAR. There are many reasons but everything points to this. There were no income taxes prior to WWI. War is what costs the most. 2/3rds of American debt is said to be because of war. Cause all those fancy equipment that ends up being fragments of nothing are very very expensive.

Kanada is probably bad for the reason that they are lackeys of London, or Satan's Throne and they never lifted a finger to rebel unlike America.
