Rebel TV E34 Evil Taxes-Why Are You Paying For This....? 2/23/21

Death and taxes, the two things you supposedly cannot avoid. Yet for 140 years of American history, a time of unparalleled growth and prosperity, there were no direct taxes on American citizens in line with what the founders believed and put in the Constitution. The founders understood that not only were direct taxes on the individual for making a living or simply existing, wrong, the prohibition of such taxes would ensure that the government did not have a form of income that would enable it to grow into a huge and intrusive size.
Of course those days are long behind us. Founded on the idea that taxation without representation was evil, that taxing labor was immoral and that burdensome taxes and burdensome and tyrannical government go hand in hand, we have become that which we rebelled against two and a half centuries ago. The principles have not changed, all those things are still immoral and evil, yet we willingly, however reluctantly, participate in perpetuating this nefarious scheme to rape us of our wealth.
King Joe has not been shy about requiring more of your money and wealth for all his corrupt friends and the denizens of the swamp. Just an aside, the last time a Democrat candidate ran on a platform of raising taxes, Walter Mondale lost in a landslide. Yet senile old Joe won. Hmmm. However, it will take a little while to actually increase tax rates on individuals and activities the communists disapprove of. But how current taxes are bring allocated and used is changing with a simple stroke Old King Joe's now well worn pen. Let's look at two of them which clearly violate the founder's vision for the limits and application of taxation in America.
One of the first things Old King Joe did was eliminate the prohibition on taxpayer funding for abortions overseas and he has been clear on his opposition to the Hyde Amendment which supposedly prohibits domestic taxpayer funding for abortion. Most Americans oppose abortion on demand after the first trimester and very few would voluntarily pay for a woman to kill her baby. Would you? If not, then what are you going to do about the fact that the government is forcibly requiring you to pay for baby killing around the world? If abortion is murder to you, are you willing to continue to provide the contract fee for the assassin? Thomas Jefferson said it best. “To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”
The second affront to our founding principles is the idea that the Covid relief bill is going to include money to pay for all the debts of these democrat states they have run into the ground. Fundamentally, this is taxation without representation. I live in Florida which has not remained locked down for months on end and has confiscated more tax revenue than expected and can pay its own bills. New York, Illinois, California, and other democrat run states have spent their states into bankruptcy. I had no say when they decided to give their swarms of state workers generous pensions and salaries, when they decided to pay for sex change operations or failed welfare policies or benefits for illegal immigrants or raised taxes so high they drove all the productive people out of their states. I supported none of this yet with this Covid bill me and my children and grandchildren and their grandchildren are going to be paying for all of these things and more. This is wrong, this is why we rebelled against Britain.
This is, of course, just the tip of the iceberg. All the money confiscated by our government is not for our benefit. It is for the benefit of the politicians, the connected, the swamp. All that foreign aid for things like gender studies in Pakistan is nothing but kickbacks. All those contracts are just favors to donors. All those cushy salaries and pensions are just to make the swamp wealthy and powerful. This is exactly what what the founders sought to avoid. Again, this is what Jefferson said. “Direct taxation is to be avoided, this could be done by avoiding expenses that are not necessary. when merely by avoiding false objects of expense we are able, without a direct tax, without internal taxes, and without borrowing to make large and effectual payments toward the discharge of our public debt and the emancipation of our posterity from that mortal canker, it is an encouragement, fellow citizens, of the highest order to proceed as we have begun in substituting economy for taxation, and in pursuing what is useful for a nation placed as we are, rather than what is practiced by others under different circumstances.”
We were supposed to be different, we were not supposed to transfer wealth from the masses to the elite, to royalty, to the connected. And we held that line for over a century. Today that line has been obliterated as we spend half our working life paying for the lives of others; or for the taking of their lives. It is wrong, it is immoral and we should not do it. All we are doing is supporting immorality and we are doing it by voluntarily, however reluctantly, handing over our hard earned money to the looters and extortionists. It is time to stop, it is time to revolt. Do you have enough courage in your convictions to stop paying for all this evil?
