The power to tax is the power to destroy.

So right. The System is evil from top to bottom, at all levels. A couple of weeks ago someone on SubsTack, i think jim Davidson, wrote about how much US Gov spends per year on itself (its budget, more or less) including on military personnel and infrastructure, I believe. The number was a staggering 7.5 trillion dollars: over 1.5 million per person! (The total number of people in Fed Gov plus military is around 4.5 to 5 million.). I imagine one could do the same math for every level of every government and we’d see that 90 to 100 percent of taxes simply goes to paying for the government, not for ‘services’ or ‘programs’ or whatever they tell us the money is used for. The rest is simply faked by putting more zeros on a ledger somewhere; we pay extra for services and programs anyway.
