 TAXATION IS THEFT  
 IN BRAZIL WAS 20% DURING COLONIZATION, NOWADAYS IS ABOUT 40% 
 20% was the high end too. Lots of citizens of ancient Egypt paid 10-20% of their yield and they were lenient depending on if there was a bad harvest or not. Slaves were property acquired through conquest and other socioeconomic conditions but there were a fair amount of debt slaves there and throughout other ancient civilizations. 

It feels like we are in a system where the majority of people are debt slaves and they don’t know it. Debt slaves plus taxed far higher than ancient Egyptians. 
 This taxation regime will come to an end. 
 Seems to me that slavery was never really eradicated in the US. They just changed who they were enslaving.
