I worked the summer of 1956 in a cotton mill for $1 an hour. My take-home pay after tax was $33 for a 40 hour week.
The Federal Reserve created by Jewish bankers to protect their fraudulent schemes destroyed the value of paper money.
And now they are going to destroy your remaining financial independence by putting you on digital currency that can be turned off to control and to punish you for non-woke opinions and behavior.
1913 was the year that destroyed America. The dumbshit population agreed to the income tax and to the Federal Reserve. Clearly, Americans were far too insouciant to remain a free people.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended.

I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive.

I was born in 1956. Started working in 1972 in a grocery store. Wage was $1.60 an hour.
Dont pay them,taxes that is. Your blood sweat and tears are funding this shit show. Mass non compliance and irish democracy are the answer. Take the spoiled little brats (govt elite) allowance away and suddenly they become irrelevant.
That’s why the IRS hired 85,000 agents who will have weapons.
Can’t wait for the first IRS agent to get dropped by a pissed off citizen.
Heck, years ago, one guy flew his airplane in to an IRS building.
So … if you’ve got a job working for someone other than yourself, just how do you avoid the income taxes being taken out of your check by that employer?
And, no, claiming 12 or more exemptions on your withholding form doesn’t work anymore … that disappeared about 40 years ago as a strategy …
And any honest employer will not pay under the table … they need to be able to deduct your wages/salary …
Independent contractor. My daughters husband used to get paid that way, though he certainly filed taxes. I’d debate whether somebody who won’t pay under the table makes them honest. Somebody else said to file as exempt. My uncle told me to do that when I was young and as far as I used it back in the day it seemed to work a treat, though still had SS taken out. Not sure you can still do that either. And it certainly isn’t without risk.
Work for cash only.
After the great die off…I mean reset , skilled people are gonna be valuable.
“The dumbshit population agreed to the income tax and to the Federal Reserve. ”
No, Paul, they didn’t. There was no vote for citizens that had anything to do with that coup. Now, about your bullshit statement: “Clearly, Americans were far too insouciant to remain a free people.”, What about your insouciant article praising Hank Kissinger? IMO, that beats the shit out of any example you could cite for the insouciance of Americans in general, from which you always exclude your own dumb ass.
Seriously, Paul, STFU.
Great reply Ed, I agree with you he should STFU
Sorry, I can’t remember what the prices were when I was born.
You can look it up.

Well it looks like our only option is to end the FED…the only question is; before or after the pogrom…
2.15 an hour at my first job. I was overpaid, lol. Didnt know how to work yet. Prolly took three jobs to actually learn how to actually work.
I’m so old they didn’t even have a minimum wage, I shoulda waited to be born.
I remember when the price of sirloin steak hit $1.00 a lot of us thought the world was coming to an end.
I remember sugar and coffee going through the roof in the early 70’s. People were drying their coffee grounds out in the oven and reusing them. It is why we have high fructose corn syrup in everything, making us a nation of diabetics and helping to kill the masses.
Gas also tripled, from .25 cents to .50 cents to .75 cents. Those early seventies cars got low mileage too, my manager boug5ht a new Ford LTD station wagon and got 5-6 miles to the gallon!
Diabetes and cancers both exploded into existence in 1859, along with 60 cycles power transmission lines.
