Episode-379- How Taxation Enslaves Society

Episode-379- How Taxation Enslaves Society [ 59:28 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Today we discuss taxation from the view of the modern survivalist.  We examine the non partisan truth of taxation, the reality that the only constant in taxes for over 100 years is more taxation which have created more spending.  We now have an unsustainable government and that government has created sustainable poverty.

The long term consequences of this system are easy to see, understand and if we are not careful feel overwhelmed by.  I am here today to tell you that you are not controlled by the system, it is you and your fellow American’s that power the system.  Unlike a battery though you control your power, where is focused,  home much is used etc.

The reality is we are our own solutions and it is only by first changing ourselves that we can ever hope to change our system.  Tune in today for the horrible truth about taxation and the empowering reality of your ability to control it.

We often talk about what to do if the shit hits the fan.  We also tend to acknowledge that at personal and regional levels the shit does in fact hit the fan on a daily basis for many people.  However, I submit to you that the shit hit the fan for the American way of life long ago and has been flying off the blades for more then a century now.

  • How can we define slavery in 2009
  • What is the difference between dependence and choice
  • Who does the Constitution and Declaration apply to
  • What is individual sovereignty
  • Why everyone is “born into captivity”
