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.
I know, right? I mean, they give us the figures (budget numbers) which are always in the trillions nowadays, but why do we never do the simple math? And, of course, it’s not like those millions-per-person are distributed evenly nor, even, to the individuals, but it is a convenient way to highlight the enormity of the situation. Definitely a hat tip to Jim Davidson, and others like him, for pointing this out.
It’s 1.5 million per person but they do not spend that on white middle class. It’s going to everybody else. Of course they are taking it from the white middle class.
Kommifornia wants to know if you're not driving your car so they will know, IF you drive it, they need to pull you over and ticket you to get more money.
The power to tax is the power to destroy.

Per person! Why am I surprised?
