We Didn’t Agree to This: How the Government Wastes Taxpayer Money While Treating Americans Like Peasants

Leave a reply

“I didn’t agree to this,” a frustrated citizen said. “Neither did my children or grandchildren. Why should we be forced to pay for foreign projects while our own country is falling apart?”

This sentiment resonates across America, where taxpayers are fed up with watching their hard-earned money vanish into black holes of government spending. From missing trillions at the Pentagon to billions pledged to foreign conservation projects, the double standard couldn’t be clearer. The U.S. government seems adept at mismanaging funds while punishing its citizens for even the smallest tax oversight.

Let’s dive into the messy web of waste, misplaced priorities, and corruption that fuels this taxpayer nightmare.

The Missing Trillions: Where Is the Accountability?

The Pentagon has a well-documented history of financial mismanagement. On September 10, 2001, then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld admitted that $2.3 trillion was unaccounted for. This shocking revelation was overshadowed by the tragic events of 9/11 the next day, and the story was conveniently forgotten.

Fast-forward to today, and little has changed. In 2023, a Department of Defense audit revealed seven accounts with untraceable funds, amounting to $220 billion. Imagine losing $220 billion at your job—there’d be lawsuits, terminations, and public outrage. Yet, for the government, it’s business as usual.

Meanwhile, if you owe the IRS $2, you’ll face relentless harassment, garnished wages, and potentially lose your home. The contrast couldn’t be starker.

Foreign Spending While Americans Suffer

The most recent insult to taxpayers comes in the form of a $1 billion pledge to conserve the Ecuadorian Amazon. While protecting rainforests is important, Americans are left asking: Why are we funding this when our own country is in crisis?

  • Hurricane Helene Victims
    In North Carolina, thousands are still living in tents after Hurricane Helene destroyed their homes. A family of 11 froze to death, and a baby recently died of hypothermia. The government’s response? A mere $750 per household for disaster relief.
  • Homelessness Crisis
    Over half a million Americans are homeless, including veterans who served this country. Cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco are overwhelmed by encampments, yet billions flow overseas for foreign aid.
  • Crippling Infrastructure
    From collapsing bridges to contaminated water systems, America’s infrastructure is falling apart. The American Society of Civil Engineers gave U.S. infrastructure a D+, yet there’s no multi-billion-dollar plan to fix it.

Where Does All the Money Go?

If you’re wondering where your taxes are being spent, the answers are troubling. The government routinely prioritizes foreign projects, war efforts, and corporate interests over its citizens.

  • Ukraine Aid
    Since 2022, the U.S. has sent over $40 billion in aid to Ukraine while American military families rely on food banks.
  • Healthcare Neglect
    Rural hospitals are shutting down at alarming rates, leaving millions without access to care. Meanwhile, the government funnels billions into international climate accords that barely impact domestic issues.
  • Corporate Land Grabs
    In North Carolina, corporations like Albemarle are buying up lithium-rich land under the guise of “development.” A beloved drive-in theater in Kings Mountain was demolished—not for public use, but to access the valuable lithium beneath it.

These priorities reveal a government more invested in global power plays than the well-being of its own people.

A System Built to Exploit

The U.S. government isn’t just inefficient—it’s strategically designed to serve corporate interests and career politicians.

  • Lobbyists Rule the Roost
    Corporate lobbyists spend billions influencing legislation. From healthcare to education, laws are crafted to maximize profits, not serve the public.
  • Career Politicians
    Many lawmakers have been in office for decades, amassing wealth while the nation declines. They don’t live in the real world—they live in mansions, fly private, and have lifetime benefits.
  • Taxpayers as ATM Machines
    Americans are taxed on nearly everything—income, property, food, gas, and even death (via the estate tax). Yet, the returns on these taxes are minimal, with basic public services underfunded or collapsing.

How the System Could Change

It doesn’t have to be this way. Americans deserve better, and here’s how we can fix the system:

  1. Impose Term Limits
    No more career politicians. Representatives and senators should serve limited terms to ensure fresh ideas and prevent entrenched corruption.
  2. Ban Lobbying
    Legislation should serve the people, not corporate interests. It’s time to end the revolving door between Congress and lobbying firms.
  3. Audit and Accountability
    Government agencies should face regular audits, with severe consequences for missing or mismanaged funds. If they can track your $2 debt, they can account for $220 billion.
  4. End Profit-Driven Governance
    Essential services like healthcare, education, and infrastructure should not be profit-driven. Public funds should serve public needs.

Americans Are Waking Up

The government’s pattern of wasting taxpayer money while ignoring domestic crises is unsustainable. Americans are increasingly vocal about their frustrations, with social media platforms like TikTok amplifying stories of neglect, corruption, and misplaced priorities.

One user posted, “Why is it easier for them to find $1 billion for the Amazon than $1 billion for Hurricane Helene victims? It’s like they don’t care about us.”

The Bottom Line

The U.S. government has shown time and again that it prioritizes foreign interests and corporate profits over the well-being of its people. It’s time to stop being treated like peasants funding their schemes.

As one citizen aptly put it:

“I didn’t agree to this. Neither did my children or grandchildren. Why should we be forced to pay for foreign projects while our own country is falling apart?”

We must demand accountability, transparency, and a complete restructuring of how our nation operates. Until then, the taxpayers will remain the silent, exploited majority in a system rigged against them.

We Didn’t Agree to This: Why Are Americans Paying for Foreign Projects While Our Nation Crumbles?

Leave a reply

“I didn’t agree to this,” one frustrated citizen said. “Neither did my children or grandchildren. Why should we be forced to pay for foreign projects when our own country is falling apart?”

This sentiment echoes across the United States as the Biden administration announces a $1 billion investment in the conservation of the Ecuadorian Amazon. While touted as a climate initiative, the decision leaves many Americans questioning why their tax dollars—and the debt their descendants will inherit—are being used to fund projects abroad when their own communities face unprecedented challenges.

Foreign Conservation vs. Domestic Desperation

The Ecuadorian Amazon conservation plan is presented as a necessary effort to combat climate change. However, its timing and the lack of transparency surrounding its objectives raise red flags. Critics point out that Ecuador’s Amazon is not just a rainforest; it’s a resource-rich region abundant in oil, minerals, and timber. Could this be less about conservation and more about securing economic interests under the guise of environmentalism?

Meanwhile, back home, Americans are suffering from neglect.

  • Hurricane Helene’s Aftermath
    In North Carolina, victims of Hurricane Helene are living in tents after their homes were swept away by mudslides and floods. A family of 11 recently froze to death, and a baby succumbed to hypothermia in sub-freezing temperatures. What was the federal response? A paltry $750 per household for disaster relief.
  • Homelessness Epidemic
    Over 580,000 Americans are homeless, many of them veterans and families with children. Cities like Los Angeles are grappling with sprawling encampments, yet the government seems more eager to fund foreign conservation than tackle this growing crisis.
  • Infrastructure in Shambles
    The nation’s roads, bridges, and water systems are crumbling. The Flint water crisis remains unresolved, and communities across the country face contaminated drinking water. Despite the American Society of Civil Engineers giving U.S. infrastructure a D+ rating, there’s no billion-dollar plan to fix it.
  • Education and Healthcare Underfunding
    Underfunded schools in low-income areas are struggling to provide basic education. Rural hospitals are closing at alarming rates, leaving millions without access to healthcare. While American families navigate these challenges, the government prioritizes global initiatives.

Borrowed Billions, Taxpayer Burden

This $1 billion for the Amazon isn’t coming from a budget surplus. It’s borrowed money, adding to the national debt, which has already surpassed $33 trillion. Each borrowed dollar comes with interest—money that American taxpayers will be responsible for repaying.

“When did I give permission for my grandchildren to shoulder this debt?” another citizen asked. “This is theft. They’re borrowing on our backs to fund their agendas.”

Patterns of Misplaced Priorities

The Ecuadorian Amazon conservation pledge is just the latest example of the U.S. government prioritizing foreign projects over domestic needs:

  • $40 Billion to Ukraine
    Since 2022, the U.S. has funneled billions into Ukraine for military aid, while American veterans face homelessness and food insecurity.
  • Afghanistan Aid
    Even after the chaotic withdrawal, billions continued to flow into Afghanistan. Meanwhile, Afghan war veterans in the U.S. struggle with PTSD and inadequate care.
  • International Climate Pledges
    The U.S. has committed billions to assist other nations in reducing emissions, yet it has failed to modernize its own energy grid or address rampant pollution in industrial hubs.

What Is the Real Agenda?

History suggests that U.S. foreign investments often serve hidden agendas. Whether securing natural resources, countering geopolitical rivals like China, or laundering money through global programs, these initiatives rarely prioritize altruism.

Critics argue the Ecuadorian Amazon investment could be a strategic move to control South America’s resource-rich regions. The Amazon is home to vast reserves of oil, gold, and other commodities essential for global markets. By funding conservation efforts, the U.S. may be positioning itself as a gatekeeper of these resources.

Meanwhile, in North Carolina

Hurricane Helene’s victims highlight the stark contrast between what the government promises and what it delivers. The lithium-rich hills of Kings Mountain, NC, are drawing corporate interest, with Albemarle Corporation leading the charge. Landowners are being pressured to sell as corporations eye the state’s abundant lithium and rare quartz—resources critical to the tech and electric vehicle industries.

A local drive-in theater in Kings Mountain was recently purchased and demolished—not for redevelopment, but for the lithium beneath the land. While corporations thrive, displaced residents are told to accept Amish-built homes or give up their land entirely.

“This isn’t aid; it’s a land grab,” one resident said. “They’re using disasters to push us out and take what’s ours.”

The Bigger Picture: Americans as Tax Slaves

Americans pay some of the highest taxes globally, with nearly half of many paychecks going to federal, state, and local governments. Yet, these funds rarely benefit the taxpayers themselves. Instead, they’re used to fund global ambitions that do little to address domestic concerns.

“We’re tax slaves,” a community leader stated. “Our government treats us as assets to be milked for money while ignoring our needs. They care more about foreign power plays than the lives of their own citizens.”

A Call for Accountability

Americans must demand transparency and accountability. What is the real purpose behind the Ecuadorian Amazon investment? Why are our leaders prioritizing global projects while neglecting disasters, homelessness, and crumbling infrastructure at home?

Until the government starts prioritizing its people, the frustration of taxpayers will only grow. As one citizen put it, “We didn’t agree to this, and we won’t stand for it anymore.”

Conservation or Corruption? The $1 Billion Amazon Investment and the Forgotten American Struggle

Leave a reply

As the Biden administration proudly announces a $1 billion investment in the conservation of the Ecuadorian Amazon, many Americans are left wondering: why is our government so eager to fund projects abroad while neglecting pressing crises here at home? From crumbling infrastructure and homelessness to underfunded schools and disaster recovery efforts, it seems the priorities of our leaders are misaligned with the needs of their own citizens.

The $1 Billion Question: What’s Really Happening in Ecuador?

The White House describes this billion-dollar pledge as a commitment to environmental conservation and combating climate change. But when has the U.S. government ever spent such vast sums without ulterior motives? Critics are asking pointed questions:

  • Is this about accessing Ecuador’s abundant natural resources, including oil and minerals?
  • Could it be a geopolitical maneuver to outbid China or other nations for influence in South America?
  • Or, as some skeptics suggest, is this a money-laundering scheme under the guise of environmental aid?

The Ecuadorian Amazon is rich in oil, gold, and other valuable commodities. Conservation efforts could mask an agenda of resource control rather than genuine environmental protection.

Ignored at Home: The Real Cost of Misplaced Priorities

While the government writes billion-dollar checks for foreign projects, countless Americans are struggling. Consider these examples:

  1. Hurricane Recovery Neglect
    Victims of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina received a paltry $750 per household to rebuild lives destroyed by mudslides and floods. Entire families are living in tents, with deaths reported due to exposure. Meanwhile, the administration pledges billions to the Amazon without addressing ongoing crises in its own backyard.
  2. Homelessness Epidemic
    According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, over half a million Americans are homeless on any given night. Cities like Los Angeles and New York are overwhelmed by growing encampments, yet federal funding for affordable housing remains inadequate.
  3. Infrastructure Collapse
    The American Society of Civil Engineers has consistently graded U.S. infrastructure with a D+. From collapsing bridges to undrinkable water in Flint, Michigan, the government fails to invest in critical repairs, even as it borrows heavily to fund international projects.
  4. Healthcare and Education Underfunding
    Rural hospitals are closing at alarming rates, leaving millions without access to healthcare. Public schools in low-income areas are chronically underfunded, with outdated materials and unsafe facilities. Yet, the administration has no issue financing conservation abroad.
  5. Veterans Abandoned
    Homeless veterans make up a significant portion of the unhoused population, yet programs to support them are woefully underfunded. Why is it easier to find money for Ecuador’s rainforest than for the men and women who served this country?

The True Cost of Borrowed Billions

This $1 billion isn’t coming from a surplus. It’s borrowed money with high interest rates—debt that you, your children, and your grandchildren will be responsible for repaying. The federal government continues to accumulate debt at a staggering pace, with the national debt surpassing $33 trillion in 2024. Every borrowed dollar adds to the financial strain on future generations.

“I didn’t agree to this,” one frustrated citizen said. “Neither did my children or grandchildren. Why should we be forced to pay for foreign projects when our own country is falling apart?”

Patterns of Neglect: When Americans Are Left Behind

The $1 billion for the Ecuadorian Amazon isn’t an isolated case. The U.S. government has a long history of prioritizing international initiatives over domestic needs:

  • $100 Billion to Ukraine
    Since 2022, tens of billions have been sent to Ukraine for military aid, while American military families face food insecurity.
  • Billions in Aid to Afghanistan
    Despite the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, the U.S. continued sending financial aid, even as Afghan veterans here struggle with PTSD and inadequate support.
  • Climate Agreements
    Under international climate accords, the U.S. pledged billions to assist other countries in reducing emissions, despite failing to address its own outdated energy grid.

What Is the Real Agenda?

It’s no secret that the U.S. government often uses foreign aid as a tool for power and control. Whether it’s securing access to natural resources, countering rival nations like China, or pushing corporate interests, these investments are rarely altruistic.

As one political analyst put it, “The government doesn’t invest in anything without expecting a return. Whether it’s oil, minerals, or influence, there’s always a hidden agenda.”

The American Tax Farm

Americans are burdened by one of the highest tax rates in the world, with nearly half of many paychecks going to federal, state, and local taxes. Yet, the returns on this investment are increasingly hard to see. Citizens are left to wonder: where is their money going, and why are they footing the bill for international ventures that don’t benefit them?

“This administration treats us like tax slaves,” said one concerned taxpayer. “They’re borrowing billions in our name, but none of it comes back to us. We’re funding a global empire, not a country that cares about its people.”

Demand Accountability

The American people deserve transparency. Where exactly is this $1 billion going, and what assurances do we have that it’s being used responsibly? Why isn’t this money being used to address pressing domestic issues, from disaster recovery to homelessness?

As citizens, we must demand answers and hold our leaders accountable. The Ecuadorian Amazon may be important, but so are the lives of Americans struggling every day in their own country. Until the government prioritizes its people over international interests, the question remains: who is really benefiting from these investments?

The Deepening Debt: How Decades of Borrowing Created a Burden on American Taxpayers

Leave a reply

The Deepening Debt: How Decades of Borrowing Created a Burden on American Taxpayers

By A.L. Childers

Debt in the United States is no longer just a number on a balance sheet; it’s a looming reality that impacts every American taxpayer. This financial journey didn’t just happen overnight; it was a gradual, compounding process that began long ago, growing with every fiscal decision and borrowed dollar. Today, we find ourselves in a system where, in the 2023 fiscal year alone, the U.S. paid over $475 billion in interest on its national debt. Shockingly, these funds did not contribute to building hospitals, improving schools, or fixing our roads. Instead, this money went directly to servicing loans held by private entities and foreign nations, fueling a cycle of debt that, ultimately, American taxpayers are left to support.

But when did this all start? Who has funded this borrowing? And why has debt become such a central part of our financial system? Let’s walk through the timeline and unpack the mounting national debt and interest payments that Americans shoulder today.

A Brief History of the U.S. National Debt

1790s – The Beginnings
The origins of American debt began just after the Revolutionary War when Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury, proposed the federal government assume state debts to consolidate and legitimize national credit. By establishing this early debt, the U.S. set the foundation for creditworthiness, making it possible to borrow from international allies and build the economy.

1913 – The Federal Reserve Act
In 1913, Congress established the Federal Reserve as a central banking system to stabilize the economy and manage monetary policy. Although initially intended as a means to prevent economic instability, the Federal Reserve has since played a significant role in national debt, especially by buying government bonds during financial crises. This allows the U.S. to finance deficits, but it also means we pay interest on loans to a quasi-private institution—something that directly impacts taxpayers.

1940s – World War II Borrowing Boom
World War II saw the debt surge as the U.S. borrowed heavily to finance its wartime activities. By 1946, the debt had increased dramatically, reaching over $270 billion. Much of this debt was held domestically, with Americans purchasing war bonds. However, it marked the start of large-scale borrowing from foreign entities, a trend that has grown over the decades.

1970s-1980s – The Rise of Foreign Debt
The oil crises of the 1970s created a wave of borrowing, as the U.S. needed to stabilize its energy needs and support the dollar amid inflation. By the 1980s, with the Reagan administration’s significant tax cuts and defense spending increases, the debt continued to soar. To finance the deficits, the U.S. began borrowing extensively from foreign creditors, including Japan and Western European countries, laying the foundation for future dependence on external sources of capital.

2000s – China Becomes a Major Lender
Since the early 2000s, China has become one of the largest foreign holders of U.S. debt. This shift began as China sought a safe investment for its vast foreign reserves, amassing a significant portion of U.S. Treasury securities. In 2008, the Global Financial Crisis forced the U.S. to borrow heavily to fund bailout programs, with the national debt exceeding $10 trillion by 2009. China’s role in this financing created a unique situation where one of the United States’ key economic rivals became a primary lender.

Interest Payments and the Growing Burden on Taxpayers

The cost of this accumulated debt is no longer just a future concern; it’s a current burden. Each year, the U.S. pays interest on its debt, and as that debt grows, so does the interest. In 2023, the U.S. paid $475 billion solely in interest—a staggering amount that surpasses federal spending on many public services. This money goes toward servicing loans held by foreign nations, like China and Japan, as well as private institutions, including the Federal Reserve itself.

Economist Thomas Piketty discussed this issue in his influential book Capital in the Twenty-First Century, arguing that such debt perpetuates inequality. As the government pays interest on debt, it effectively transfers taxpayer money to creditors who, in turn, gain wealth. This upward transfer of wealth means that the financial obligations of the government ultimately drain the working class, while those with financial assets—whether private institutions or foreign governments—continue to grow richer.

A Taxpayer Burden Without Consent

The debt itself was accumulated by government decisions, but the taxpayer bears the burden. This debt and its interest payments, paid with taxpayer dollars, were never directly borrowed by Americans, yet it is taxpayers who cover these costs. Every dollar of interest paid is a dollar taken from potential investment in schools, roads, and public health.

Moreover, the compounding interest has created a self-perpetuating cycle where debt only grows, as more borrowing is needed to pay off existing loans. Each administration, from Reagan to Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden, has contributed to this rise, with varying levels of spending and policy decisions, leaving Americans to pay for interest on loans they never agreed to.

A Call for Awareness and Action

The U.S. debt structure has developed over centuries, but its implications are profoundly modern, affecting everything from tax policies to public spending priorities. Today’s debt levels are not sustainable, and without changes in fiscal policy, American taxpayers will continue to foot the bill.

As citizens, understanding the history and magnitude of this debt is essential. We must hold those in power accountable, demanding transparency and responsibility for fiscal decisions that affect future generations. The cost of borrowing should no longer be ignored, especially when the public, who bears the burden, had no say in the choices that led to it.

Throughout history, authors have warned of the perils of unchecked debt, financial exploitation, and the rising influence of corporate power. Just as I, A.L. Childers, strive to bring awareness to the consequences of growing national debt and its burden on taxpayers, past writers sounded alarms about similar societal dangers in their own times. These literary giants, through their works, forecast the repercussions of economic imbalance and unchecked power, offering prophetic insights into our present-day struggles.

Charles Dickens, in Little Dorrit and Hard Times, depicted the crushing weight of debt and poverty on ordinary people, reflecting the social injustices of his time and highlighting the struggles that arise when wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few. George Orwell, in works like 1984 and Animal Farm, examined how powerful entities exploit individuals, drawing eerie parallels to our current financial system, where everyday citizens labor under debt burdens that enrich a select few.

Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle exposed the exploitative labor practices in early 20th-century America, showing how systems designed to maximize profit often leave workers destitute—a reality mirrored today in a financial structure that prioritizes corporate and government interests over individual welfare. Mark Twain critiqued the Gilded Age’s wealth inequality in The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today, depicting how the lure of easy wealth led to widespread corruption—a reminder of the consequences of financial irresponsibility at the highest levels.

Lastly, F. Scott Fitzgerald, in The Great Gatsby, explored the hollowness of wealth and the pursuit of the American Dream, questioning a society where success is defined by materialism, often financed by credit and debt. These authors understood that debt, inequality, and corporate power threaten societal well-being. Their insights are as relevant today as ever, serving as cautionary tales for what the future may hold if we ignore the burden of unchecked debt.

The warnings of these writers should not be overlooked. Together, we must take their lessons to heart, remain vigilant, and push for responsible fiscal policies to prevent further erosion of economic stability and protect the future of the American people.

The Hidden Cost of American Debt: How U.S. Taxpayers Fund China’s Military Might

Leave a reply

In the modern age, it’s easy to overlook the financial realities that underpin our nation’s economy. One such reality is that the U.S. national debt, a staggering $33 trillion, is not just a burden on the government—it’s a burden on every American taxpayer. As of today, China holds approximately $800 billion of U.S. debt, making it one of the largest foreign holders of American treasury bonds. But what does that mean for you and me?

The Unseen Drain on U.S. Taxpayers

Every year, billions of dollars in taxes are collected by the U.S. government under the pretense that this money will be used for domestic purposes: building roads, funding schools, and improving hospitals. However, a significant portion of this money never reaches these sectors. Instead, it goes toward servicing the national debt, including the interest payments owed to foreign creditors like China.

According to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, in 2023 alone, the United States paid over $900 billion in interest on its debt—an amount nearly equivalent to the defense budget. Of this, a substantial portion goes directly to the Federal Reserve and foreign holders of U.S. debt, with China being a major beneficiary. In turn, China has used these funds to bolster its military, particularly the development of its formidable People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

The Federal Reserve: A Secret Power Behind the Debt

The Federal Reserve, a quasi-private central banking system, plays a central role in this financial dynamic. But how did this institution come to wield such power over American economic policy? The creation of the Federal Reserve is rooted in secrecy, betrayal, and manipulation—a story told in the infamous book The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin.

In 1910, a group of elite bankers and politicians met in secret on Jekyll Island, off the coast of Georgia, to draft a plan for the establishment of a central bank that would control the U.S. money supply. This meeting was held under the cover of night to avoid public scrutiny and backlash, as Americans were highly skeptical of centralized banking at the time. The Federal Reserve Act was passed in 1913, allowing a small group of individuals to control the nation’s monetary policy.

Since then, the Federal Reserve has not only influenced the U.S. economy but also controlled the issuance of debt. As a borrower, the U.S. government must pay interest to the Federal Reserve and other holders of U.S. debt, effectively making taxpayers the guarantors of these payments. As a result, much of the money collected in taxes goes to service this debt rather than being invested in the welfare of American citizens.

The Role of Corporations and Lobbyists

To understand why this system persists, we must look at the influence of corporations and lobbyists in Washington, D.C. Over the years, certain politicians, backed by corporate interests, have passed legislation that perpetuates this cycle of borrowing and debt repayment. One prime example is the 2008 financial crisis, where massive bailouts were given to Wall Street firms while ordinary Americans were left to shoulder the burden.

Corporations like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase have long had a hand in government policies, with their executives often moving in and out of key government positions. These corporations benefit from the system as they are heavily involved in trading U.S. treasuries, profiting from the interest paid by taxpayers. Meanwhile, lobbying groups ensure that policies are enacted that favor these corporations, leaving the average American with little to no control over how their tax dollars are spent.

Hidden Empire of Debt: How Politicians Keep Us in the Dark

The American people have been kept in the dark about the true nature of the debt system. Politicians offer “lip service,” promising infrastructure projects and improvements in public services, but the reality is that much of the money collected through taxes goes to servicing debt. In my book The Hidden Empire: A Journey Through Millennia of Oligarchic Rule, I explore how this system came to be and how the oligarchic ruling class has used tools like the Federal Reserve to control the economy and manipulate the masses.

One of the most troubling aspects of this system is that, despite the vast wealth the U.S. has accumulated from resources and exploitation around the world, it remains in debt. How is it that a country that profits from global imperialism, oil, minerals, and corporate interests is still beholden to foreign creditors? The answer lies in the corruption and self-serving nature of certain politicians, lobbyists, and corporate executives.

The Connection to China’s Military Development

China’s investment in U.S. debt is not merely a financial strategy—it’s a geopolitical one. By purchasing U.S. treasuries, China holds leverage over the U.S. economy. In the meantime, the interest payments made by the U.S. to China allow the Chinese government to fund its military development, particularly the expansion of the PLA. This means that while American taxpayers believe their money is being used to better their communities, it is actually helping to finance the military buildup of a foreign power.

The situation is made worse by the fact that U.S. corporations continue to profit from Chinese manufacturing and trade, further entangling the two economies. As long as this system persists, American taxpayers will continue to fund both their own government’s debt and the military expansion of China.

Conclusion: The Need for Awareness and Action

If Americans understood the true nature of the debt system, they would realize that much of their tax money is being used to prop up foreign powers and enrich corporations, rather than improving their own lives. The only way to change this system is to demand greater transparency from politicians, lobbyists, and corporations, and to hold them accountable for their role in perpetuating this debt-based system.

In The Hidden Empire: A Journey Through Millennia of Oligarchic Rule, I delve into the history of how the oligarchic class has maintained control over economies and governments for centuries. The Federal Reserve, lobbyists, and corporations are just the latest tools used to maintain this control, and until we expose the truth, the American people will continue to be exploited.

By understanding how this system operates, we can begin to take steps to break free from the cycle of debt and reclaim control over our economic future.

Taxed to Death: A Journey Through the Evolution of America’s Financial Burden

Leave a reply

When people talk about taxation, you’ll often hear the phrase “taxation is theft.” But let’s be clear—it’s not theft; it’s extortion. The government doesn’t just ask for your money—they take it. And if you don’t give it to them, the consequences are severe. In fact, you could lose everything, whether through prison or forfeiture of your assets. In the land of the free, that doesn’t sound very liberating, does it?

The Boston Tea Party: The Birth of a Tax Revolt

It all started back in 1773, long before taxes became the complex machine they are today. Colonists in America were fed up with being taxed by a government thousands of miles away in Britain. Specifically, they were enraged by the Tea Act, which allowed the British East India Company to sell tea at a lower price but still keep the tax on it. This led to the famous Boston Tea Party, where protestors dumped 342 chests of British tea into the Boston Harbor. This was the beginning of America’s deep-seated disdain for taxes. Ironically, this fight for “taxation with representation” was only the start.

The Rise of Federal Income Tax: The Civil War Era

While early American taxes were primarily excise taxes on goods like whiskey, it wasn’t until the Civil War that the federal government began to impose income taxes. In 1861, Congress passed the Revenue Act, instituting a federal income tax to help cover the enormous costs of the war. It was a short-lived measure, but it set the stage for what would later become the federal income tax system. Though repealed in 1872, the groundwork had been laid.

1913: The Birth of the Modern Income Tax System

Fast forward to 1913, when the 16th Amendment was ratified, officially giving Congress the power to tax income. This wasn’t just a temporary wartime measure—it became a permanent fixture in American life. The justification was simple: the government needed money to run its operations, and what better way than to take it directly from the wages of its citizens?

This marked the beginning of the modern tax system as we know it, but it didn’t stop there. The federal government expanded its tax-collecting reach, and over the years, taxes became more comprehensive, complex, and inescapable.

Taxed on Everything: The Death by a Thousand Cuts

Today, we are taxed on everything. It’s not just your income that gets hit; it’s your house, car, and food. Here’s how taxes have expanded:

  • Property Taxes: Even if you own your home outright, you are still required to pay property taxes. Miss a payment, and the government can seize your home. You never truly “own” your property.
  • Sales Taxes: Every time you purchase something, from groceries to gasoline, you are taxed. Some states have higher sales taxes than others, but there’s no escaping it.
  • Income Taxes: A significant portion of your paycheck is taken before you even get it. Federal and state governments siphon off a chunk, and if you’re self-employed, you’re responsible for paying even more through self-employment taxes.
  • Estate Taxes: When you die, your estate is taxed before your heirs can inherit it. This is often called the “death tax,” as it essentially taxes your wealth, even in death.

What Happens If You Don’t Pay?

Let’s not forget the harsh reality of non-payment. If you don’t pay your taxes, the government can garnish your wages, seize your property, and even throw you in jail. It’s not a voluntary system—it’s compulsory, enforced through penalties and imprisonment. This isn’t freedom; it’s extortion with a legal stamp of approval.

How Much Do We Really Pay?

According to recent estimates, Americans pay about 30% to 40% of their income in taxes when you add up federal, state, and local taxes. In some cases, people pay more than half of their earnings to the government. On top of that, we pay for everything else—healthcare, education, and infrastructure—through additional taxes and fees. It’s a vicious cycle of giving, and the return feels minimal compared to the ever-increasing cost of living.

The Illusion of Ownership

In reality, we own nothing. Your home, your car, your income—they are all subject to taxation. Fail to pay those taxes, and the government will take what’s yours. We live under the illusion that we are free and own our assets, but the truth is, the government has a claim on everything we have worked hard to build.

The Future of Taxation: A Glimpse Ahead

Looking at the historical timeline, taxation has only grown more invasive and more complex. What started as a rebellion against unfair taxation has transformed into a system that taxes nearly every aspect of our lives. What will the future hold? More taxes on digital transactions, carbon emissions, and perhaps even the air we breathe? The possibilities are endless—and frightening.

Conclusion: Taxation is Extortion, Not Freedom

As we reflect on the long, winding history of taxation in America, one thing becomes clear: we are not as free as we think. Taxes have evolved from a necessary evil to a form of legalized extortion. And while it’s important to fund essential services, we must ask ourselves—at what cost? If the consequence of not paying taxes is imprisonment or asset seizure, how free are we really?

The next time you get your paycheck and see how much has been taken out, or when you receive your property tax bill, remember—you don’t truly own anything. You’re just renting it from the government.

By tracing the history of taxes, we can see that the system is designed to control and extract. The Boston Tea Party was just the beginning, and now, we are taxed to death. It’s time we rethink our relationship with taxation and demand more accountability from those who enforce it.

Navigating the Financial Landscape: A Brief Overview

Leave a reply

Dear Reader,

Understanding the direction of our financial world is crucial, whether we’re aware of it or not. The global bond market, valued at approximately $133 trillion, predominantly consists of government debt, with the US leading, followed by China and Japan.

As it becomes clear that repaying these colossal debts is nearly impossible, bondholders are selling off their positions. They’re reallocating their funds to assets with better growth potential, specifically:

  1. US Equity (Stock) Markets: Worth about $51 trillion.
  2. Gold: Valued at roughly $14 trillion.
  3. Bitcoin: With a market cap of around $1.35 trillion.

Of these, Bitcoin is unique due to its finite supply. When stock prices rise, companies often issue more shares, diluting shareholders’ value. When gold prices increase, mining intensifies, putting downward pressure on prices. However, Bitcoin has a hard cap of 21 million coins, with only 1.3 million left to be mined, making it a scarce resource.

As money shifts from bonds to these assets, bond prices drop, and yields rise. Higher yields make it more expensive for governments to issue new debt and for businesses and consumers to access low-interest loans, slowing economic activity.

Governments often respond by printing more money to buy bonds, a tactic that can dilute the value of the currency. This is done in complex and often obscure ways to prevent public awareness of currency devaluation.

Key Takeaways:

  1. The traditional 60/40 stock/bond portfolio is losing its effectiveness in preserving and growing purchasing power.
  2. To keep yields low, governments will continue to inflate the money supply, ensuring there are bond buyers.
  3. The three noted asset groups (stocks, gold, and Bitcoin) are likely to remain in a secular uptrend as money flows away from bonds.

I hope this summary provides some clarity.

On Healthy Relationships

Switching gears, here’s a simple guideline to gauge whether someone might be beneficial or harmful to your well-being:

An emotionally healthy person seeks to serve others, while an emotionally unhealthy person seeks to be served.

An emotionally healthy individual sees your thoughts, worries, and hopes and has the capacity to care for and encourage you. In contrast, an emotionally unhealthy person primarily sees what they can gain from you, lacking the capacity for genuine care.

Here’s to striving for emotional health and brighter days ahead for all.

Until next time,

A.L. Childers

The Rise of Financial Domination: Mastering Financial Domination: Turning Power Play into a Six-Figure Income”

Leave a reply

Mastering Financial Domination: Turning Power Play into a Six-Figure Income”

Financial domination, commonly known as Findom, is a unique and increasingly popular fetish within the BDSM community. It revolves around a consensual power dynamic where a submissive (sub) willingly gives money, gifts, or control of their finances to a dominant (dom). This exchange transforms money into the ultimate tool of power and control, creating a unique bond between the parties involved.

Understanding Findom

At its core, Findom is about the exchange of financial control. Subs derive pleasure and satisfaction from surrendering their financial autonomy to a dom, who, in turn, derives power and satisfaction from this control. The practices within Findom can vary widely, including:

  • Tributes: Regular payments made by the sub to the dom.
  • Gifts: High-value items like designer clothes, electronics, or even cars.
  • Financial Control: The dom may take full control of the sub’s bank accounts or credit cards, dictating spending and saving habits.

Potential Earnings in Findom

The potential earnings in Findom can be substantial. Successful doms have reported making anywhere from a few hundred dollars a month to six-figure annual incomes. The amount largely depends on the dom’s ability to attract and maintain a loyal following of subs willing to part with their money.

Perks of Financial Domination

  1. Financial Independence: Many successful Findoms achieve complete financial independence through their practices, allowing them to focus entirely on their dom persona.
  2. Luxury Lifestyle: High-value gifts and tributes enable doms to enjoy a luxurious lifestyle, often filled with designer goods, lavish vacations, and exclusive experiences.
  3. Empowerment and Satisfaction: The psychological satisfaction of exerting financial control and the empowerment that comes with it are significant perks for those who thrive on dominance.

Examples of Successful Findoms

  1. Mistress Harley: Known as the “Techdomme,” Mistress Harley combines her expertise in technology with financial domination. She has created a six-figure business by offering tech support services alongside her dom persona, including hacking services and digital financial control.
  2. Goddess Jasmine Mendez: With a background in finance, Goddess Jasmine uses her knowledge to dominate her subs financially. She provides financial planning and investment advice, controlling her subs’ finances to grow their wealth while maintaining her power over them.

How to Create and Succeed in Findom

  1. Build a Persona: Developing a strong, confident, and commanding persona is crucial. Your online presence should reflect your dominance and authority.
  2. Utilize Social Media: Platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and specialized BDSM sites are excellent for finding and interacting with potential subs. Regular, engaging content that showcases your lifestyle and dominance is key.
  3. Establish Clear Boundaries: Transparency and consent are vital in Findom. Clearly outline the terms of your financial domination relationship and ensure that both parties are comfortable and consenting.
  4. Offer Unique Services: Consider offering personalized financial control services, such as budgeting, financial planning, or even tech support, to add value to your dominance and attract higher-paying subs.
  5. Network within the Community: Engage with other Findoms and BDSM practitioners to learn, grow, and find potential subs. Networking can also provide valuable support and advice.

Conclusion

Financial domination is a complex and rewarding fetish that can lead to significant financial gains and a luxurious lifestyle for those who master it. By building a strong persona, leveraging social media, and providing unique services, aspiring Findoms can create successful, six-figure businesses. The key lies in understanding the dynamics of power and control, establishing clear boundaries, and continuously engaging with the community and potential subs.
