State is not law and order, it is pillage and tyranny.

Always has been.

Allow any group of humans to enjoy impunity for violence, pillage and tyranny is the inevitable result. It's human nature.

This is THE lesson of history, of all human experience.

But few want to learn it.

The state forces you to pay taxes in USD so you get trapped in a system of "earning" USD. They trap you in that system to ensure USD holds trade value through use. They want that trade value so that when banks print USD, debasing the value of it, and moving that value to those at the top of the pyramid, it makes those people wealthier in proportion to how much it makes the rest of us poorer.

That's currency, but it isn't money.

[P Chandrasekaran @PChandr43659403]

"Tax officers" have insane powers and ZERO accountability. They can lock bank accounts at their whims and fancies to threaten anyone and drag the proceedings. It's a legalized extortion racket usually targeting small and medium businesses.

@Gss_Views ..Ludwig Von Mises school response:

The belief that wealth "lying unused" in banks and corporations is a problem reflects one of the oldest economic misunderstandings.

Money in a bank is not sitting in a cave like a dragon's treasure.

Overthrowing tyrants is every human's birthright.

[Break Free @ScrewedbyState]

But why? Because government has the power to destroy them under myriad pretexts and they have more to lose.

Once again demonstrating the obvious that extensive government control of things is a most potent tool of tyranny.

Milton Friedman's greatest regret.

The federal government discovered the perfect crime in 1943: make employers collect taxes before workers ever see their paychecks. You think you earn $60,000 per year, but you actually earn $75,000 and hand over $15,000 to politicians without ever touching it. The psychological difference is enormous.

Before payroll withholding, Americans wrote quarterly checks directly to the Treasury. Picture yourself sitting at your kitchen table, writing a $3,750 check to the IRS every three months. The pain was immediate and visceral. Politicians faced constant pressure to justify every dollar because citizens felt the extraction in real time.

Withholding transforms this concrete loss into an abstract accounting entry. Your employer becomes an unpaid tax collector, and you never experience the actual cost of government. Worse, most people celebrate their tax refunds as government generosity rather than recognizing them as interest-free loans they provided to politicians. The Treasury collects your money throughout the year, spends it immediately, then returns your own cash and receives gratitude.

This system enables the explosion in government spending you witness today. Defense contractors billing $640 for toilet seats, agricultural subsidies for corn syrup, and congressional salaries for 535 people who rarely show up to work. When taxation feels painless, voters stop demanding accountability for how their money gets spent.

Milton Friedman helped design withholding as a wartime emergency measure and later called it his greatest regret. Free market economists recognized that the psychological pain of direct taxation creates political pressure for fiscal restraint. The temporary always becomes permanent in government hands, and the emergency justification disappears while the extraction mechanism remains forever.

A state surveillance agency inspired by Hitler and named like an evil organization from a Bond film which is plotting world domination.

Cartoon villains are not just cartoons.

[Revathi @revathitweets]

Sitting next to N Ram of The Hindu and proudly saying that HITLER, a dictator who orchestrated the Holocaust that killed six million, is your inspiration for a government agency, Hydraa,
needs a different level of confidence!

People attacked me when I said Hydraa is evil, now the CM of Telangana confirmed the same.

Hydraa is the bulldozer/demolition agency started by the Telangana Congress Government and the number of times it got rapped by the Telangana High Court is insane, happens almost once a week.

Someone should tell the CM that he cannot brag so much about Hitler being his inspiration.

[Sarcastic. @Sarcaztick]

Every crime committed by a Muslim is turned into a national issue, and the entire community is blamed for it, while when a Hindu commits a crime, the media often deliberately ignores it.
