Income tax which is confiscation of labor–essentially slavery or part-time slavery. A slave is a person who doesn’t own his own labor. No one subject to an income tax owns his own labor. A slave is a person whose labor, in part, belongs to another claimant. That is what income tax is–a claim on your labor. Most American taxpayers pay higher taxes than medieval serfs.
Endless wars in which Americans die for secret agendas of a few and the profits of the armament companies. Most gullible are “patriots” who wrap themselves in the flag and rush off to die for they know not what.
Lies about white people who are demonized by the Biden woke regime, public schools, universities, and the presstitute Ministry of Propaganda.
Disrespect of the US Constitution. According to Biden Woke Democrats and Democrat judges the US Constitution is a document of white supremacy and oppression of blacks.
What do Americans get from their corporations?
Offshored production for US markets that destroys American jobs, middle class living standards, state and local government tax bases, and eventually the US dollar.
Polluted land, air, rivers, lakes, Oceans, and even small creeks.
What do Americans get from their health care system?
The destruction by Big Pharma lobbying and campaign contributions of private practice and the formation of corporate medicine.
Big Pharma treatment protocols that destroy the independence of doctors in corporate medicine and fires them if they follow the Hippocratic Oath.
Money-making ventures such as the “Covid Pandemic” that resulted in deaths due to withheld treatment with Ivermectin and HCQ, and massive deaths and injuries by the “emergency use authorization” of an untested mRNA “vaccine.”
US medical care is the highest cost and least effective medical system on earth.
What do Americans get from their “Justice System”?
Rigged trials focused only on convicting the defendant, not on finding the truth.
Violation of the requirement of a trial by peers. White Americans are arrested, indicted, prosecuted and tried with the participation of blacks who have been taught by the public school systems, universities, and woke media to hate white people as “racist oppressors.” In other words, instead of trial by peers, white people face trial by enemies. As there is scant prospect of justice in American court rooms, 97% of defendants, whether innocent or guilty, accept a plea deal in place of their right to a trial.
What do Americans get from their media?
Nothing but lies and Official Narratives that support, and protect from truth, the agendas of the ruling elites.
Why do people join the US military to protect such evil? Are they completely mindless?
Go ahead, amuse yourselves. Ask the same questions about any and all American institutions. Try to find one that serves the people. All institutions are corrupted to serve perversity, evil, and the agendas of the elite.

This is what we should be fighting everyday. The parasites that steal from us via our labor and all the rest of our wealth through inflation.
It really is a slavery system when you think about it for 2 seconds. I’m tired of hearing about slaves from the past, I want to hear from the slaves of the now.
I am even more concerned if God will hold me accountable for contributing to the most depraved and homicidal group of people in history,granted,they HAVE to take it from me,it sickens me what they do with it….
Early Christians paid taxes to the Romans until they were essentially persona non grata. Unable to buy and sell. Sound familiar?
That’s when they sold what they could and supported each other in the Book of Acts. But that is not communism as modern liberal so called Christians like to try to sell us. It was voluntary and it was temporary.
Jesus said it was OK to pay the taxes owed to Caesar and Rome was much worse than the District of Corruption.
He never said that. You may want to try reading it for yourself.
Mark 12: 14 “…Teacher, is it right to pay the imperial tax to Caesar or not? 15 Should we pay of shouldn’t we? But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. ‘Why are you trying to trap me?’ he asked. ‘Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.’ 16 They brought the coin, and he asked them, ‘Whose image is this? And whose inscription?’ ‘Caesar’s’, they replied.. 17 Then Jesus said to them, ‘Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s'”
Mathew 17:27 “But so that we may not cause offense, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours.”
Gee I wonder if a certain tribe rewrote this part.
That part and a lot more.
I don’t know if he really said it, but it certainly is in the bible. It looks like you’re the one that hasn’t read it.
Don’t worry God will not hold you accountable for anything, because if he really existed or at least cared one bit we wouldn’t be in this situation. Have you considered that if he were really in charge as some say, then he would have to be the one responsible for all the evil in the world?
Fair point, we’re not smart enough to take the system down either.
The “WAR of Northern Aggression” did not “free any slaves.” It made slaves of all men. You are either a tax slave or a welfare slave.
It is just like your home. You do not own it, the government does and it charges “rent” in the form of property taxes of which it sets the rate. They have the ability to raise your annual property tax to $1 million and there is nothing you can do about it.
Tennessee, you are so right about that.
I built my house in 1975 with my own hands, have never had a mortgage. The property taxes 48 years later are the same as what it cost me in materials to build the place! Fuck me deep……!
We’re lucky to be living in a rapidly growing area. Our taxes are smaller than a mortgage payment and have not gone up in 18 years (knock on wood). I worry with all the growth that the county will soon have to build a bunch of schools and will raise taxes to do that. Fortunately, most of the growth the past 15 years has been upper middle class with kids in private schools fleeing the high taxes of Memphrica. We are starting to see more moderately priced houses which will bring in more families with kids and they, too are fleeing the high property taxes.
Dead.
We get dead.
Which we “vote” and pay for . . . ergo, it’s suicide.
DV flak = TBP over target
Maybe. But maybe too, just disagreement with the negative premise.
Most know that voting is rigged more than ever these days.
But, sand in the gears of the machine at every opportunity is a
small, but collectively good tactic that could have an accumulative effect.
I’ve always wished TBP Admin would remove the voting function. He’s a rebel, and social media voting seems another infantile distraction, which coopts and vitiates the healthy rebellious impulse, with yet another empty ritual of no effective consequence.
anon,
I gave you the downvote, because as far as I know the votes on TBP are honest, unlike those in Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin etc.
100 upvotes means people agree with you. 100 downvotes means you’re full of shit.
+ 100 for NtroP
-100 for No Name.
What do Americans get from their Government?
THE BILL!
I thought about institutions that serve the people but all I could find was one that serves people.
Planned ParentHood.
PPH has murdered well over 6 million unborn children since Roe v. Wade in 1973 …
Funny — in any other context, that 6 million number would be an excuse to punish the whole of humanity … and to invoke global censorship upon any and all that challenge its veracity …
Here? Crickets …

Wow, those are some brutal numbers…..
Thanks man.
I’ve watched neighborhoods crumble since the 1980s. Families crumble at the same time 100 million invaders have replaced us .I despise our govt . A home that my parents bought for 15 k in NY is now 500 k with over 10 k taxes a year . A car is north of 30 k . Food has doubled in price. Yet we can give foreign countries hundreds of billions a year. Homeless people heroin addicts and mentally ill wander our streets yet politicians own 3 homes and have net worth in the millions .God help us because this is nothing compared to what’s coming.
Don’t hold your breath on that one.
What we get is a daily ration of shit. Lifetime supply.
Shortened-lifetime supply.
Hey, at least they’re consistent.

They get free Gene Editing Clotshots, Dioxins and Chlorides. Free delivery of nuclear warheads to their doorstep and if they’re lucky a “I voted” Sticker. All Americans have Monkeypox. That pounding sensation lets you know the Gov’t is hard at work.
To answer PCR’s question: the shaft, staggering debt, mockery and humiliation.
Two words……………lies and death.
3 words, but “close enough for government work.” 🙂
Two words…… THE FINGER.
Certainly not worth what we pay them…. NOT even close.
