ELON MUSK PROVED THAT OWNERSHIP IN AMERICA IS A LEGAL FICTION
“you are taxed on what you earn, what you buy, and what you own.”
think about what property tax actually means.
You work for decades. You pay off every single cent. The deed is officially in your name.
But stop paying the government their annual fee, and they will come, take your house, and sell it to the highest bidder.
You never owned that house. you just rented it from an organization you never signed a contract with.
Income tax says the exact same thing, just in a softer tone.
The government isn’t taking a cut of your income. It’s deciding how much of your own labor you’re allowed to keep.
This isn’t semantics. It’s an admission of who the system thinks owns your time in the first place.
Sales tax is hidden right in the receipt. Two people voluntarily exchange value. A third party, who contributed absolutely nothing, gets a cut just for allowing it to happen.
Now put it all together.
You’re taxed when you make money. You’re taxed when you spend it. You’re taxed when you save it. And you’re taxed again when you die and try to pass it on to your kids.
At no point in this cycle does the system recognize your output as your own property.
Because money isn’t an abstraction. It’s concrete human life.
Every taxed dollar is an hour you’ve already lived, bled for, and can never get back.
The state doesn’t manage the economy. It claims ownership over time you will never get back.
And it spends it on systems you never asked for and actively oppose.
The entity collecting all of this has zero accountability. A private contractor who delivers nothing gets fired. A bureaucracy that wastes trillions gets a budget increase next fiscal year.
The tax code has 74,000 pages. Not because the economy needs it. But because taxation must be so overwhelmingly complex that you stop asking who those pages were written to protect.
The past belonged to the people who taxed the world.
The future belongs to the people who build it.
