Modern Day American Slavery
Freedom in America is a thing of the past. America has become a land of slavery. I know that that is hard to accept but the truth is there if you are willing to listen for a few moments. I am making the bold statement that you have become a slave and basically do not even realize that it has happened. Let us first look at the word slave and explore the definition. To be a slave means that you are held in servitude of someone else. To be a slave you have to be completely subservient to a dominating influence. Now I want you to explore your relationship with the United States Government and the tax laws.
About fifteen years ago through no error of myself the company I worked for reported to the IRS that I earned $150,000.00 more than I reported. As a result I responded with certified letters (2X) and many phone calls. All my attempts were ignored as if I were ignoring the IRS. After almost one year of calling, mailing and doing everything in my power I was ransacked by the IRS. They garnished my wages, emptied my checking and put liens in the local courthouse on my home. Eventually I spoke to some "angel" in the "problem resolution office" and with the flip of a switch, I had everything reversed and returned as if it never happened. Although I did no wrong, the lien was on my credit report for ten years and it was never removed. After the ten years I had to petition the credit reporting agencies to have it removed. The IRS apologizes for nothing and to this day I have heard not even a whisper of "oops".
Getting back to slavery I want you to think about the freedoms and things that you own. You may say there has always been taxes, but you are wrong. The Income tax was not introduced until 1862 and was not even a permanent fixture until 1913. The point to be made is that if you think you have freedom just do not pay your income taxes. See what happens to your "freedom" if you do not cough up the cash. What will happen is that the IRS will come and take everything you own and leave you in the cotton fields without food, water or shelter. Unless of course you are provided with a nice prison cell somewhere.
If you do not get the point yet just ask yourself how long you have to work to pay your taxes. Let's just say that if the government took its cut of the cash before you received your first nickel, how long would you have to work? How far into the calendar year would you have to work before you could say this penny is mine?
Here is the answer...January, February, March, April and part of May. That's right, you have to work almost one half of one year to just pay your taxes! If you are not appalled by that and still do not think you are nothing more than a working class slave consider one more point. Let us look at property taxes. Do you really think you own that home you are living in now? If you do, you are wrong. You are merely renting your home for a price that is determined by the government. If you disagree with this statement then I suggest you try a test to prove me wrong. This test will have you not paying your "rent" (property taxes) for three years. At the end of those years see who "owns" the home.
America is not what it once was. America is slowly creating a greater gap between the haves and the have nots. So the next time you go to work or put gas in your tank or buy some beer or register your car or apply for a hunting license or glance at your phone bill or rent a motel room or any other activity, I want you to look at the taxes that are disguised as "fees". Maybe then you will realize that today we are nothing more than slaves to the government and working to have our money given to someone else that the government thinks it needs more.
