As we head into this election, and opt to vote for our favorite team, recall if you can what America is supposed to be about. Its not about owning people through the proxy arm of the government. It's not about existing under a never ending feudal system of debt servitude. It's about having the freedom to secure a livelyhood unencumbered. Period. That's it. No other guarantees. You may not get your little pink house and your white picket fence. What you should be able to do is to earn a living without someone in your pocket.
The definition of tax is this - a compulsory contribution to state revenue, levied by the government on workers' income and business profits, or added to the cost of some goods, services, and transactions.
Please note the use of the word compulsory. That means "have to pay it, or else."
The definition of indentured servitude is this - An indentured servant or indentured laborer is an employee (indenturee) within a system of unfree labor who is bound by a signed or forced contract (indenture) to work without pay for the owner of the indenture for a period of time.
That should read "with or without pay" as oftentimes contracts of indenture would be in exchange for some other tangible goods or service.
Note the use of the terms "signed" or "forced" contract. The "forced" contract in America would be your birth certificate, identifying you as a US citizen and held by the government as a type of labor security against prior debt.
The Thirteenth amendment to the constitution expressly forbade slavery or indentured servitude within the United States. There was a pretty big kerfuffle over that, from what I hear.
Then, not 50 or so years after that was done, along comes the 16th Amendment, the one that levied a tax on income, not apportioned to the census. Near as I can tell, that directly conflicts with the 13th Amendment outlawing indentured servitude except upon conviction of a crime.
Keeping that in mind, and keeping in mind that the thing we think makes America so great is its freedom and opportunities for so many who would otherwise be cast aside, when you vote this November for any party who pledges to uphold our system of taxation(that would be both the major ones, in case you were wondering), you'll be voting to uphold a system of expressly illegal indentured servitude.
The only ways out of it are to 1) Vote for a third party pledging to abolish the 16th Amendment and institute a more voluntary system of taxation or B) Don't vote at all....and do both en masse.
