What happened?

[Anonymous No.55622822]

How did we get to the point where people are getting taxed 30% of their income straight up?

People used to riot over a 2% increase in tax.

The income tax was supposed to be temporary to pay for the civil war

What the hell happened? We all just became serfs somewhere in the past 100-200 years

about 40% of all tax filters in the USA pay $0 in federal income tax. they pay only payroll tax (6.2%) and state/local tax (a few percent.)

1. The world wars provided an easy crisis to capitalize on, introduce "temporary emergency taxes" and then not roll them back
2. Women got the right to vote and are fine with high taxes since they are utterly non ambitious and consider the state their fill in sugar daddy

The fuckers who pushed it were geniuses and deserve our gratitude for exposing how foolish and willing to betray us most people really were. The real criminals are the morally sanctimonious narcissists who put their faith in governments and pharmaceutical mega corporations. Every day average "law abiding citizens" are the reason the world we live in is in such turmoil and full of suffering.

central banks wanted a larger more diversified market, so they're having the richest economies subsidize and civilize the third world shitters just until multinational corporations could make use of their labor. If you're invested in these companies, you probably already have more money than you know what to do with and life has never been better. If you have no money and no assets and thus no stake or benefit in the success, lol get fucked and die. Your labor now competes with the rest of the human population, domestic markets and real estate distorted, fewer jobs and larger share of which paying less, rampant fraud.

I honestly wouldn't mind the taxes...if only they spent it on benefitting society (INFRASTRUCTURE!!!)

But instead, we get "social justice is infrastructure! racial equity is infrastructure!" and "we must saveth Ukrainieth!" and we also get Janet Yellen literally plundering the treasury to fund Ukraine.

A gentle reminder that property tax was also supposed to be temporary.
Our national debt was also supposed to be payed off during the Bush era.

Didn't they create a new type of citizenship for all the former slaves that didnt have legitimate claims to the form of citizenship that already existed? They created a new type at the end of the war and slowly over time tricked people into volunteering and making their newborns have this type of citizenship.
Being a subject of the federal government (a US citizen) is an option. You can correct your status to no longer have US citizenship but still be an American national (with a passport, ability to live in the country, but without federal tax obligation).

I think what you and the other poster are getting at is the feeling that something is deeply wrong with the world. The purpose of that feeling is to get you to take action in your own lives to improve the situation. Those "at the top" have the most power to change things, so the responsibility is even more weighty for them to get clear on exactly what to do. Only the effortful exercise of free will can alter the course of things. Aspects of the world that cannot be changed are not worth sulking over.

1. the chart is of % of total tax revenue; what the chart doesn't visualize is how much LESS tax revenue the federal government was collecting before the 20th century. used to be basically the only thing the gov did to raise revenue was tariffs.
2. tariffs were lowered across the world by a massive amount after the great depression. During the depression everyone raised their tariffs to try and protect local industry and jobs but it was widely considered to have actually fucked everything up worse, because consumer goods and resources became more expensive and with less trade it resulted in less demand and therefore more failing companies and more unemployment

Three reasons: 1. people are easily bamboozled, 2. the increase in taxes was accompanied by an unrelated increase in prosperity that made most people wealthier in spite of the increasing taxes, and 3. many people discovered ways they could be on receiving end of the flow of tax money and so began to favor taxes.
