plant a garden and work for cash or trade...if enough do it...soon the slave owners will be no more

[TaxSlaveRoark]

To those who don't get it:

It's not my debt.  It was done without my consent. I do not consent to be enslaved by it.

The risk is, I'm not paying it! Until they lay off, no employees, no loans, no inventions. Just the bare minimum for me to survive, and it costs them more to administrate my taxes than they can get off me.

voices are annoying but it makes sense

@Kellett781 Whether an average person winds up buying PRIVATE bonds, or GOVERNMENT bonds makes no difference. The private person is still putting at risk their hard earned capital & deserves a reward for their risk. Like I said earlier, it is only the bankers who are the crooks the way they can print up money out of thin air & get a government bond in return. Only they are the ones that did no work & deserve no reward.

@Ethercruiser Dude.... watch the whole video.... you just parroted exactly what he said. He said PRIVATE bond holders of corperations were ok. Government bond holders were bad. The video briliantly breaks it down so that even an average intellect person can "get it".

This one is a bit "off." There is this thing called "time value of money."

@mattgwach See what happens when when gov'ts can run debts anymore then say it isn't a big deal. People give their consent to be taxed because they get more back in services. But that can only happen if they run deficits. This is a legitimate attack against the state.

Seeing as how you have to pay rent to the government (in the form of property taxes) for property that you "own", and give the government a cut of all the fruits of your labor (in the form of income taxes), this seems like not that big of a deal.

[ShruggingOut]

@Ethercruiser He's talking about government bonds. Where is the risk when you use the force of the government to line up taxpayers over the course of decades to pay off the bonds? Nothing wrong with a corporate bond (provided there are no taxpayer bailouts of the corporation). But government bonds? It's not a coincidence that "bond" is the root of "bondage".

[Ethercruiser]

Twisted & dangerous logic. Bondholders do not get something for nothing. They are putting their hard earned capital at risk & deserve some sort of reward if their risky investment works out OK. If it doesn't work out, they will likely get back only part of their investment, or lose it all! If nobody is willing to take a risk & invest, factories won't get built, jobs won't be created, etc. The real crooks are bankers who print up money out of thin air & get a government bond in return.
