Beware the Taxman (Continued from Page 3)
There was a time when we didn’t have to ask permission from the government or pay taxes to: collect rain water, go fishing, own a property, start a business, renovate a home, build a home, drive a vehicle, get married, hunt, own a weapon, cut hair, sell a product, protest, grow your own food on your own property, set up a lemonade stand or sell food. Today, you can do virtually nothing without being ex- torted by the government and obtaining their permission first. Now I’m going to quote some song lyrics for you. I’m not advocating for the song- writer or the band, but in 1966, the Beat- les released the song, “Taxman,” written by George Harrison. He got this one right. The song is written from the “tax- man’s” point of view, and the taxman says, “Let me tell you how it will be. There’s one for you, nineteen for me. ‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah...I’m the tax- man. Should five percent appear too small, be thankful I don’t take it all... ‘cause I’m the taxman....If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street. If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat. If you get too cold, I’ll tax the heat. If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet... “Don’t ask me what I want it for, if you don’t want to pay some more. ‘Cause I’m the taxman.” And it ends with: “Now my advice for those who die: declare the pennies on your eyes, ‘cause I’m the taxman, and you’re working for no one but me. Tax- man.” Now recently, with the implementation of the Department of Government Effi- ciency, or “DOGE,” that agency has re- portedly abruptly stopped the wasteful spending of $115 billion dollars so far. They’re still rooting out obscene govern- ment waste and fraud and I can only say it’s about time. Because America is al- ready more than $36 trillion in debt that we can never repay. Meanwhile, Ameri- cans pay a total of $2.6 trillion annually in federal income tax. But in March, Congress passed yet an- other “Continuing Resolution” setting the “discretionary spending” budget at 1.6 tril- lion dollars. This includes an increase of $7 billion in deficit spending. As citizens, we’re required to be fiscally responsible. We all know the government is not. If the government was an individual, it would have such a low credit score, it wouldn’t qualify for even a “payday loan,” or “car title loan” or even an advance from a shady mafia loan shark. They tell us our social security, Medicare and welfare sys-
tems are broke — along with FEMA, which spent all its money on illegal aliens. But somehow, there’s always been plenty of money that appears out of thin air to cover the ever-growing deficit, and to spend on pet projects and foreign aid to 187 other countries around the world. You can argue that we’re living, once again, under “taxation without represen- tation” and you can argue that the 16th amendment was never properly ratified by the states all you want but try not paying your taxes and see what happens. So, my question is, why do we pay taxes, when the federal government has been giving “free” money to every special interest group — and nearly every foreign country in the world — racking up trillions in debt, with literally nothing to back it up, and with absolutely no accountability to anyone? The average citizen, and espe- cially those who own a business or oper- ate a Christian ministry, must account for every single jot and tittle of their income, and then hand over a substantial amount of that money to the government. The IRS has thousands of agents to scrutinize every single cent we touch. Yet the gov- ernment “loses” trillions in assets every day, spends trillions that don’t even exist, and there is no audit, no accountability, no nothing. And why do we even have cash and coins anymore in the first place? We know it’s only a matter of time before the digital “currencies” are rolled out, giving the Globalists and Big Government even more power, surveillance and control over every aspect of our lives. It’s because having cash and coins allows us peasants to maintain the “illusion” that actual “money” still exists. In reality, it’s only “digits” anyway, and there will come a time, sooner rather than later, that our paper money will become more valuable as fire-starter so we can stay warm. Yes, I’m glad “DOGE” is supposedly stopping the government waste and fraud in some areas. But when is our govern- ment going to start paying down the debt, rather than passing endless “Continuing Resolutions” that just continue to enslave American workers? You see, they’re very clever about it all. The average dumbed-down citizen re- mains blissfully unconcerned about all this, because taxes are withheld from their paychecks every week. So, they never miss what they never see. Then, they’re gleeful when they get their “refund checks” after filing taxes. Understand:
this is money the government took and used, interest-free, throughout the year. And then they simply return the excess they “borrowed” from you when you file your mandatory taxes...and people are thankful to get their refund checks! Personally, I haven’t had an income tax refund since 1988. If people had to pay their taxes quarterly, like businesses and ministries do, they would see just how much is being stolen from them, and they’d revolt. Instead, they cele- brate when they get their refunds. What a scam. On June 4th of 1963, President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order 11110, which returned to the US Gov- ernment the power to issue currency and did away with the so-called “Fed- eral Reserve System.” Kennedy was killed on November 22nd of that year, just five months later. And Kennedy’s dead body was not even cold yet, when Lyndon Johnson rescinded that order...keeping Americans enslaved to the Rothschild banking system and en- suring the eventual bankruptcy of our nation. In America today, we labor under a heavy burden of taxation — with no rep- resentation. Although our Constitution assures us of our right to a redress of grievances, that right, like so many oth- ers, has gone the way of the horse and buggy. So, we dutifully and carefully file our taxes, being sure to declare every single cent we earn. We go along with the illusion that America isn’t hopelessly beyond bankrupt, even as our crooked politicians continue to heap ever heavier burdens on our backs, on our children’s backs and our grandchildren’s backs, should they live long enough to survive in the new Communist Amerika. It’s time for another American Revo- lution. It’s time to hold our “public ser- vants” accountable for their crimes. The Department of Government Efficiency is perhaps a step in the right direction. But I’m afraid we’re only being allowed to see this to give us the illusion of some tiny morsel of hope that things are turn- ing around for the better. I have little faith that the federal beast will ever reign in the unaccountable spending sprees... or that our so-called “representatives” in Congress will ever “pay the piper” for their fiscal irresponsibility. Our public servants have “Rules for Thee, But Not for Me.” Bottom line: if the average American
citizen handled their money the way our federal government does, they’d be in prison. But it’s even worse than that. Imagine if the average American citizen handled someone else’s money the way our federal government handles our money. They’d be behind bars the rest of their lives. They’d never again see the
light of day. But again: “Rules for thee, but not for me.” April 15 is coming, folks, and you’d better have your papers in order. If you don’t, Beware the Taxman. Email: Rob@WisconsinChristianNews.com Phone: (715) 486-8066
