tax collection is highly efficient. you'll have taxes taken out of your very first paycheck. you pay taxes when you buy stuff. and on and on.

but the real problem is actual taxes, its USURY.

our entire money supply is built on USURY,

or continuously compounding INTEREST.

USURY is unsustainable at ANY level above 0.00%

And so our government operate by borrowing money, going into debt, and then levying taxes, to pay for the debt that they got themselves into.

so your TAXES actually go to paying INTEREST on the debt.

your taxes don't actually support ongoing operations.

The debt ceiling thing, isn't a threat to roads and bridges,

The debt ceiling is because current tax collection can't even keep up with the INTEREST PAYMENTS on the debt.

this is why Washington DC is currently making a plan to TAX us even MORE, to pay INTEREST on the DEBT.

this entire money and credit system was set up BY THE BANKERS, FOR THE BANKERS.

and it always crashes and burns,

and it always leads to "certain people" being identified as the culprits,

and those people become the targets of angry mobs...

your state government should be able to operate while sitting on a pile of CASH.

the state government pays CASH for whatever it needs, and taxes the people just to replenish the CASH reserve.

With a system like this, there is no "borrowing from peter, to pay paul",

There is no "interest" in the equation.

there is no middle-man banker, making a penny every time a dollar changes hands.

iirc, The state of Utah allows state taxes to be paid in SILVER.

and North Dakota has a STATE BANK that operates for the interests of the people of the state, NOT for the interests of out-of-state "shareholders"
