@RealCandaceO This just made it occur to me that this is my problem with the Nancy Guthrie case. I couldn't figure out what it was that rubbed me wrong about it
Pediatrician and neonatologist Dr. Paul Byrne was one of the first physicians to question the validity of brain death.
In 1975, Byrne was caring for Baby Joseph, a preemie born at a mere 24 weeks’ gestation. The baby wasn’t responding to stimuli, so Byrne ordered an EEG, a new technology at the time. “He had a flat electroencephalogram or EEG—in other words, no brainwaves,” Dr. Byrne recalls.
The neurologist interpreted Joseph’s flat EEG as “consistent with cerebral death.” Byrne waited a few days, then repeated the EEG, and obtained identical results: no brain waves.
Byrne gave the bad news to Joseph’s parents, who decided nonetheless to continue treatment. The result?
“Joseph went on to be a straight-A student in school, build a brilliant career, and he’s now married and the father of three kids.”
This experience launched Dr. Paul Byrne on his journey as an advocate for people falsely declared brain dead. At age 93, he continues writing and speaking; raising awareness that brain death is not death.
Hypothetically…….. I’m being taxed on money I never made. Let that sink in.
If I bought my property outright for $60,000 in 2009
Now the county says it’s worth $246,000.
Did I sell it? No.
Did I make a profit? No.
Did I get a check for $246,000? No.
But my taxes jumped like I did.
That’s the problem.
This isn’t income.
This isn’t cash.
This is a number someone decided on paper — and now I’m being billed for it.
If my stock portfolio doubles, I don’t pay taxes until I sell.
If my income doesn’t increase, I don’t magically owe more income tax.
So why does owning a home work differently?
Why am I being taxed on unrealized gains?
A house isn’t just an investment — it’s where people live. And this system means you can do everything right, pay off your home, and still get squeezed harder every year because of a number you never turned into money.
You don’t truly own something if you can be taxed out of it.
This isn’t about “services” or “inflation.”
It’s about being charged for value you never received.
And people are starting to notice.
This needs to be on everyone’s mind✔️
@LauraLoomer You know, just a thought, it's super easy to take a screenshot and then not crop all the relevant profile information out of it so that you can prove your point
