Having gotten boned over yet again because I lived in two states last year, I'm wondering if taxes will be abolished in the post-awakening world.

SS, etc. are unconstitutional anyway and should be abolished. With no income tax, people will have more money to support the elderly and the unfortunate in other ways. Also, it will be easier for a worker to save enough to support themselves a bit when they're too old to work. If work is not like a prison, more people will love their jobs enough to work until they can't. I know an attorney who is well off. He worked every day well into his 80s because he loved his job.
I agree with your response except on Social Security. That actually is not unConstitutional. It was an actually nearly unanimous piece of legislation created for disability and later retirement of all Americans. At first it was something employers paid into with profits, but soon was shifted back into employees, by greedy employers.
Voting on something doesn't make it constitutional. SS is paying me right now from general funds, not from anything I or my employers contributed. My contributions were only about $30,000, and it didn't take me long to draw all of that. That part coming from current taxpayers is the part that makes it unconstitutional, as it's a form of charity.
Well if you have no other income stream and are disabled, then what? You’d be SOL. So it was set up to be a pool, not “charity” for ALL Americans.
And to be more pointed, it’s only become near insolvent because the Fed crooks, Admin of SS when it’s mostly computer run, has tens of thousands of employees, especially the managers and Admin directors in every county, US-wide, sucking off a mass chunk of funds that should be for the actual recipients, not a bunch of pork-waste Admin employees that don’t do much anymore, with near full automation. Additionally if the SS System had been managed properly, being invested in gas-oil, Silver, Gold, and other precious metals only, this whole time, the pool of funds would be in the trillions pooled up, all due to properly reinvested dividends.
Anyway be glad it’s there and don’t scream too loud “it’s unconstitutional”. Because if it suddenly got removed by a mass group of stout Constitutionalists, you and tens of millions of other retired and disabled people will be out on the streets in 30 days after it was disbanded.
Not out in the streets, as working people would suddenly have enough money to support the charities they used to.
BTW, I wouldn't be out in the street anyway. There's this thing called multiple income streams. SS is just one of many for me. Hint: I retired when I was 50.
