Taxes CONT
. During World War II, the U.S. government passed the Current Tax Payment Act of 1943 because it needed money to fight the war. Before that, it had to wait for people to pay their taxes, so the Act solved that problem.
This allowed the government to get paid
before workers did. It also allowed the rich to put their hands directly into workers’ pockets. Today, it’s a giant, ongoing cash heist that gets bigger and bigger as the government gets needier and the rich get greedier.
The 1943 Current Tax Payment Act gave rise to the military-industrial complex that former general, and outgoing president, Dwight D. Eisenhower warned everyone about in 1961. In 1943, with tax dollars now pouring into the government on a monthly basis, the military-industrial complex could declare war forever. The Cold War began, and trillions of tax dollars went into producing weapons of mass destruction.
Obviously, the ultra-controlling rich and their friends profit greatly from war and the fear of war. All they have to do is use the media machine to whip up a potential threat from Iraq, North Korea, Russia, whatever terrorist group is making the headlines. The irony is that U.S. taxpayers feel that paying taxes is being patriotic. What its really doing is killing our youth.
We will always be at war because war is profitable. For centuries, war is how nations have stolen the wealth of other nations. War is a giant cash heist on many levels… on people through blood, sweat, and taxes on both sides of the war, real or perceived.
Let’s look at who actually pays the taxes. We always hear the rich need to be taxed more and every couple of years, they are. While that sounds fair, it’s really just part of the machine. Employees get taxed the highest percentage. Then small business owners. Then big business owners. And finally, the passive investor.
When the “rich” get taxed higher, it is not the ultra-rich. It is not the controlling rich. It is the rich employees and the rich small businessmen. It is the CEO’s and officers of a company. It is the doctors and lawyers. It is NOT the ultra-rich who own nearly everything. They often pay little to no taxes. And they do so legally.
Do you see how the system is rigged against the ‘little guy’? The little guy carries the burden of the entire country on their backs while the ultra-controlling rich hold the electric prod.
All this is happening in a democratic country. It’s just another reason to minimize your exposure to the tax system. It’s another reason why I have bought into a lot of crypto.
