The idea that a pregnant woman from Guatemala can sprint across the US border, have the baby 30 minutes after arriving here, and the baby is magically a citizen of the US, is one of the most retarded and indefensible notions ever conceived

Elon Musk just proved that ownership in America is a legal fiction. Musk: “You get taxed on what you earn, you get taxed on what you buy, and you get taxed on what you own.” Think about what property tax actually means. You worked for decades. Paid it off in full. The deed is in your name. Stop paying the government its annual fee. Watch them take it and sell it to someone who will. You never owned that house. You were leasing it from an entity you never signed a contract with. Income tax tells the same truth in softer packaging. The government does not take a portion of your earnings. They decide how much of your own labor you are permitted to keep. That is not semantics. It is a confession of who the system believes your time belongs to first. Sales tax buries itself in the receipt. Two people exchange value voluntarily. A third party who contributed nothing takes a cut simply for allowing it to happen. Now stack all three. Taxed when you create. Taxed when you spend. Taxed when you hold. Taxed again when you die and try to pass it to your children. At no point in that cycle does the system recognize your output as yours. Because money is not an abstraction. It is crystallized human lifespan. Every dollar taxed is an hour you already lived, already bled for, already gone. The state is not managing an economy. It is claiming dominion over time you will never get back. And spending it on systems you never asked for and actively oppose. The institution extracting all of it faces zero obligation to perform. A contractor who delivers nothing gets fired. A bureaucracy that burns through trillions gets a budget increase the next fiscal year. SpaceX pays taxes to the agencies that obstruct its launches. Tesla funds the regulators drafting rules to shield its competitors. The builders are not subsidizing government. They are financing their own friction. The tax code is 74,000 pages long. Not because the economy demands it. Because the extraction had to be buried in enough complexity that you would stop asking who it was designed to protect. The past belonged to the people who taxed the world. The future belongs to the people who build it.
