Musk: "The de facto US national income tax is 40%. When added to California state income tax, it is 53%. That means the state confiscates the majority of your income. But hey, at least they're fixing the potholes, right?" (media.greatawakening.win) The Musketeer

Yeah. The total is way beyond 50%. The only way away from some of that is doing a serious prepper thing.

No, they get you on the taxes and fees no matter what. For example, it costs $130 (I think, I have to check the bill) to connect to the water grid + usage. So if we turn our water off, we still have to pay $130 a month for simply living in a neighborhood that is on the grid. The power bill is the same connection fee + usage... it feels like we have endless bills that can't be evaded.

edit to add: And I can rant endlessly about the worthless mandatory health insurance that is ridiculously expensive and doesn't cover much. But if you don't have it, the penalty is OUTRAGEOUS.

You got taxes and fees, but what about taxes ON fees, like the processing fees tax. Layer upon layer of obfuscation of what "taxes" really are.

Taxes are nothing but an asset transfer mechanism. They are "taxing" what they already own. All the money belongs to the Fed (Federal Reserve Note), and it is the Fed that collects and receives all our taxes. They then use those "taxed" FRNs (AKA Unicorn Farts that they already own) to "trade for" our real assets (see BlackRock et al and their takeover of the housing market).

The real fraud is what we call "money" in the first place. Taxes are there to keep that machine running, to ensure that all assets are transferred to them. Without taxes there would be no reason to use FRNs in the first place.

All your base are belong to us.

That pretty much sums up our economic system.

If you are earning enough money to get to the 37% tax bracket, you start to learn about other tax kickers like the High Earner Medicare enhancement. I paid a lot more in medicare last year than social security. At least social security phases out above some income level.

But Medicare follows you to the moon. 1.45% for basic medicare, at all incomes. Another 0.9% for incomes above $200k. That’s 2.35% on top of the 37% tax bracket. So 39.35% total. Close enough to 40%. And when the majority of your earnings are at that high level, effectively every dollar you want to spend was taxed at that level. California incomes get another 13% of taxes on high earners too.

Essentially, when I want to buy a $50k car, it costs me $100k in salary. When I have to pay $500 per year to register and drive that car, it costs me $1000 per year in salary. When I pay a $7 bridge fare, it’s $14 in salary. When I buy a $2 coke, it’s $4 in salary. When I take my wife out to a nice $100 dinner, it’s $200 in salary.

That’s my “privilege.” All the while, I’m told over and over that I’m not paying my “fair share.”

I once said to a bunch of boomers that taxation is theft and the majority of it, if not all of it, needs to be eradicated. They said in reply, "What about the roads?!?!" I said to them, "Even with the taxes you pay now, are the potholes getting fixed in a timely fashion?" They all stood bug-eyed and knew the answer was no.

Taxes went up like crazy everywhere around where I live and yet our roads are in their worst state ever. But instead of fixing potholes or repaving old roads they just keep throwing the money around building unnecessary and confusing roundabouts which no one knows how to use and have resulted in more traffic accidents and traffic congestion.

The income tax is voluntary. Change status to state national (DS-11 passport), file a W-8BEN with you companies tax agent, and perform a revocation of election. Then stop filing and never claim to be a US Citizen ever again on any form. It’s all the legalities of trust law and they trick you into participating with tacit agreement. If done right the IRS (based in Puerto Rico) will actually defend your right to not pay taxes. You have to kill all the contracts that associate you with the corporation known as THE USA (the foreign entity located in the District of Columbia).

It’s all about what jurisdiction you put yourself under. The guy in the link I shared while unconventional in his delivery cites all the USC and UCC codes that associate “Citizens” and “Persons” with The USA Corporation. You would also have to understand why this corporation was given power here. For that check out this US Civil War History series. (4 short videos). It details jurisdiction and the role of the confederate part of the government that was wiped out and taken over.

https://youtu.be/cGFb0JC1uwk

Honestly I’m making my through it and waking up more and more every day. Please don’t reply with simple statements without citations or descriptions trying to discredit what I’m saying without filtering through the data yourself. They pulled the wool over all of us from birth. Until you understand the actual definitions of the terms that identify you and them you won’t understand how much of a slave you actually are.

Enjoy the rabbit hole. Or don’t but try not to discredit something you know nothing about. Good day to you.

US pays a huge amount in tax, and gets very little for it. Most of the countries with high tax rates have state funded healthcare included in those costs.

The US problem is too many under-educated, unproductive citizens who need goverment support

And the Constitution says that the federal government has a VERY short list of what it can legally do. The only one requiring tax money is defense of the country itself. And, hmmm, look at that border.

Some of us have the radical idea that we should live in a Constitutional Republic. What a concept.

Musk has paid more taxes than any human in the history of taxes.

Anyone who is shining a spotlight on the theft of citizens' hard earned money is worthy of commending for those efforts.

Musk may be a useful tool of the White Hats, but he is at the very least playing his role in The Great Awakening magnificently. He is red pilling normies by the millions.

Kash laid it out clearly - Musk is not an ally of Trump.

Musk simply is trying to save face and realizes the collective mass of people is turning on the elite. I dont trust him for a second.

He is against 2A and wants strict gun control.

Kash laid it out clearly - Musk is not an ally of Trump.

Kash is an agent of the White Hats in this 5th Generation War. He will say whatever is necessary to win this war. Sometimes that means casting disinformation, misinformation, and deceptions for the Black Hats to bite at.

Neither Kash, General Flynn, or Musk would ever under any circumstances acknowledge their potential role in this Information War while this operation is still ongoing. If they are all indeed working for the White Hats, they would endeavor to obfuscate not only their own role in this war, but also the roles of any allied personnel such as Musk, if he is indeed on the side of the White Hats (which I do believe he is).

Yeah sure... in an information war those who are part of the plan are now giving misinformation. That is such bull shit. Talk about deception at the highest level.

Q even said as much on multiple occasions.

Now do you understand why mirrors and disinformation is necessary?

u/#q1685

Sun Tzu's art of war:

"All warfare is based on deception."

Start from the predication that we are at war. Then work towards acknowledging that warfare in the 5th generation has changed. Finally arrive upon the truth that the weapons of 5th Generation Warfare are deception, misinformation, and disinformation.

A wise general never allows their enemy to know the whole of their plan. Every war that has ever been fought and won has been done so because of clever misdirection on the battlefield.

I am familiar with the disinformation is necessary post. It calmed some waters for awhile when people were expecting the booms and arrests of the swamp. At this point into the timeline - there has been no significant arrests or anything to hang a hat on outside of a few minor deltas that could be mere coincidence.

What is not a coincidence is that the world is a fucking mess and the ones that we put so much hope in are peddling a deceptive narrative that no one can make sense of. If patriots are in control why are those who are following them made out to be a delusional cult of crazies?

Patriots are now being locked up with sentences of murderers. Gitmo has plenty of space and I think we are all wondering if those cells will be filled with Patriots and Qanons.

Looks like you still live a happy comfortable life and suffer from 1st world privilege and have not hit the personal precipice yet. The points used on how "bad" it is, are aspects comfortable people get upset about. It can and probably will get ALOT worse. Its interesting how so many are "awake" but still soo comfy. That is the reason we are all in this shit show. Because we are comfy and allow it. If that doesnt break and change then it never will and will be a repeating cycle. Buckle Up if im right it might get real bumpy and uncomfy.
