Americans love to complain that schools don't teach students about taxes...
If American schools started teaching American youth about American taxes, how they work and where all this money is going, it will end in either First American Socialist Revolution or the Second American Civil War.

yes that's why they don't teach it

now you're getting the libertarian/anarchy/freedom/truther movement stuff and why those guys are called conspiracy theorists

dunchu see. taxes and inflation are a conspiracy theory! there's no like documents all about this stuff at all they're just making it up!

@jestdotty taxes are a subscription payment for your security, provided by goons we call "Police". If you don't want to pay them where you live, move to some other country that has lower taxes, or move to some unclaimed patch of land god knows where, and be truly "free".

yeah, libertarians are literal children.

@kiki I need like one of those heavy stare emojis here

so close yet so far

@jestdotty you either pay your local gang, or your town's mafia (corporate feudals), or the biggest criminal in town (your government). The vacuum of power will always fill with the goon who has the biggest gun.

@jestdotty they taught me about the taxes.

But in belgium taxes pays for school at least. And guns aren't mandatory

All i know is that taxes are legalized theft from the small people. I don't have anything against paying for betterment of my country, better roads, safer place to live etc. but there are some other issues.

Like too many people working for the government, apparatus is just too big for this number of people and if i count the inflation, costs of life, average income l etc. people on balkans were better off under the Turks because the tax was lower than it is today.

My employer pays me salary, but I get like a bit more than half of that sum, rest goes to the government! And mAnDaToRy medical insurance that i didn't use for like 15 years now, i always go to the private clinics because I don't have 2 years to wait for check-up. My mom got the doctors appointment in april of 2026 in february of 2024.

It's all a joke

the Canadian government is most of the Canadian economic activity =]

Canada just elected a banker... & the guy refuses to set a budget which is routine for all governments

we have the highest debt of the G7 countries which we are hosting soon...

while this banker guy runs around talking about green energy nobody wants. the last guy kept giving green energy subsidies. all of those companies & infrastructure are now bankrupt, scrapped, or on pause because the company saw no way to make them profitable. now this new guy is saying he's gonna invest in conventional energy... but he won't, because he has a history of telling people what they want to hear & just money laundering to green energy scams

all the while the Canadian government is more concerned with "funding Canadian content" and internet censorship than the economy. and blaming Trump for the economy when it's actually the carbon tax & their spending that's causing all the inflation (forget taxes, inflation is a hidden tax)

oh and our police is a joke

the cops told people who were having their cars routinely stolen by I guess literal organized crime by this rate... and shipped on giant freight ships to fucking Africa

that they should just put their car keys in their mailbox so that the thieves don't break into their house

our cops were always a joke. actually s guy GPSed his car and that's how we found out it was via freight ships. our cops arrested him for trespassing on the docks to find his car instead!

but our last glorious leader did use the RCMP to freeze bank accounts of family members of COVID vaccine mandate protesters. he actually wanted to _take_ their money but the RCMP woman said we can't do that. actually this was advice from our CURRENT prime minister before he was prime minister. so this banker guy refuses to do accounting but he loves to take your shit

and our military lost 2/3rd of their people during the COVID mandates. we have no military anymore

and our government is MAIDing people

how thoughtful

the sale pitch for that was ohno terminally ill people

then they ushered in controversially that it can be used on people who have mental health issues. like depression

and how it's saving the Canadian government so much taxpayer money if we just kill people instead!

now there's quite fully serious articles showing up saying we should extend MAID to kids and teenagers, for they are the "most vulnerable"

... oh yeah to find out whose bank accounts to freeze a "hacker" who on video bragging about it looked like he had mental health issues to me, had hacked the donation website that was accepting donations to fund the protest so people could eat while protesting (they couldn't work because of the mandates so they needed money to live somehow)

well he handed the data to the Canadian gov. bragged on a stream about how proud he was of it or something. the Canadian government did nothing to him for the hack, used the hacked information to call up each individual bank and ask them to freeze everyone's accounts on the leaked legal names list... and when someone asked him on stream wouldn't the government go after him (this was like 4 months after the event), he acted all crazy at the camera DARING the Canadian government to do it. then laughing maniacally. because he knows our government wouldn't. I'm sure in his head it was because he had immense power, but in reality they don't give a shit

@jestdotty i just hate that indolent troglodytes are running our lives with insane ideas and clearly wrong decisions. Power drunk fools.

What you wrote is a black mirror episode material.

@devJs is it real though?

@jestdotty (ಠ_ಠ)

Does a kaomoji serve your purpose?

@D-4got10-01 yes what I was thinking of =]

@kiki they trying but people are fed up. which is good. more we repeat it less likely it'll come to pass

that COVID "passport" they emailed me was not an attachment... but a link to a website. the link is now 404. for such a mandatory thing they sure seemed to have ditched it fast. too bad they'll also forget my records of having gotten that vaccine shot. and the insane death count on my first batch =]... literally the website when i first looked had tons of deaths, it was one of the high kill death shots. now if you look it up they just say only 200 people got it. and not 4000 with most of them getting fucked by it. disgusting

our gov paid 70$ per vax. they "bought" 10+ vax shots per member of the population. our former prime minister had stocks in moderna. literally just money laundering

not to mention shit like the "arriveCAN" app. couldn't fly without it. 100$ mill to a contractor, guy calls newspaper... ??? I don't do gov contracts!

@kiki nothing is real, everything is just an experience.
