What else would you call it when something of yours is taken without consent or by threat of violence?
One day we should demand that the statists give us a percentage. That's step #1.

Step #2 would be under what authority was this percentage bestowed upon us.

It isn't hyperbole.

McKean Federal Correctional Institution has armed guards with real guns and bullets. I've been there!

And they come to your house when you don’t pay your taxes? Do you have the body cam on that? Can’t find it on YouTube.

Imagine your parents joined a country club where kids were free. Growing up, you weren’t charged because your parents paid their membership fees. Now that you are an adult, however, you have to pay a fee. You can quit the club or you can pay the fee, but you can’t moan about the fee being theft while swimming laps in the pool.

This is so disingenuous. Why don't you try that yourself? Stop paying taxes and see how fast the government will whip out its guns.

You know why we can't have an adult conversation? It's because people like you would flat-out deny facts of life like this.

The indoctrination centers, in conjunction with the corporate media, have done their jobs.

The IRS or local tax body will take your house and sell it. Do you deny that?

These folks would, and I'm sure they would expect free swimming trunks too

Did anybody put a gun on the kids to pay the fee or if they refuse to pay, they would be jailed or shot?
