 THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT YOU PAY HIGH “TAXES ONLY TO UPHOLD THE ILLUSION THAT YOU ARE FUNDING THE GOVERNMENT, WHICH YOU ARE NOT.”
High Taxes are really not funding the Government, so who’s really funding the Government? The Government is funded by treasury bonds (paper) & who buys the treasury bonds. Mostly the Fed & how does the fed buy them? By printing money, but what backing does the Fed have for the money being printed? It’s the treasury bonds themselves so basically you finance the Government by printing money out of thin air.
If the Government can print money 💰 out of then air then why do we pay taxes? https://image.nostr.build/f16680b31ba313209ad669b3d19dc40baa5d6acb0195185d782311badbba2aeb.jpg
