Especially for military. I thought amerca was founded because we were having a war with france and we taxed colonists for it so they revolted. Yet why have Americans been ok with very similar taxes and taxes for other stuff from their own government.
When did this all start because it certainly didnt start right after 1776 otherwise washingtons government would have been ousted just like we were.
The invention of mass media to entertain, pacify and distract the population. Also the government subsidies for junk food to make us docile and happy.

Retards cant resist the temptation of welfare. 2/3 of taxes go to welfare.
Dylan Murphy
At first only white males who owned land could vote. This demographic hates taxes and thus taxes were low. Now everyone can vote. Apparently other groups love big government and taxes. Now ask yourself why this is and come to your own conclusions.
David Evans
so there wasnt any tax pre 1920s? idk if i believe that but you are right on that point u made
Adrian Gray
Redpilled.

24% goes to up keeping the bureaucracy here i think it's near 20% in the us too.
Connor Rodriguez
I have been asking myself the same question user. Our government of boomers is worthless.
Camden Campbell
Cool it with the antisemitism bro
Jaxson Cooper
You're a fucking retard that doesn't know history. The meme saying "no taxation without representation" doesn't mean no taxes dumbfuck, it means we wanted a say in how we were being taxed. In reality the tax was actually minuscule, but it was the principle behind it that mattered
Juan White
Bro i litearlly meant that in the OP
People do not have a say in how they are taxed they get their money taken off them and then its distributed into differnet sectors and you do not ahve a say in it.
Also i studied the american revolution in college so i do know what im talking about. My point still stands since you do not have a say in how your money is distributed
Brayden Thompson
The issue was taxation without representation. It wasn't a problem with taxes per se, it was a problem of having no political power and still having to pay for a beurocracy that didn't benefit the colonists. Sounds pretty familiar, no?
Thomas Gray
My point being referenced in the military spending etc
Eli Howard
The "say" we supposedly have is choosing between two equally compromised candidates. 1984 was truly the seminal work of our time
Christopher Russell
>it certainly didnt start right after 1776 otherwise washingtons government would have been ousted just like we were. But it did. People refused to pay taxes on whiskey shortly after achieving independence and Washington himself led the militia to enforce the tax.
Caleb Rivera
muh roads
Michael Foster
1913, jews.
Gavin Turner
yeah thats what im meaning, why are americans now ok with that shit when the core principle of their nation even existing was having tax (if any) that actualyl benefitted them and they could opt out of specific taxes if they felt taht it didnt benefit them
Gavin Thomas
ah ok thank you, was that the introduction of the federal reserve by chance? that would make sense as the starting point for it all
cheers

Kinda funny how the socialists cant even use this meme in Norway because they have spent everything on niggers so they have to set up toll booths instead.
whatever retard keep mocking that standpoint as all your earnings get taken away from you and used for things that actually hinder the livelihood of you and your loved ones
Cameron Davis
he didnt say anything about jews bro
Gabriel Smith

Thomas Bailey
After world war 2 we decided to copy the socialist Nazis. No bullshit.
Mason Lewis
Because Jamal needs his welfare

This. When you have democratically elected government, it's only a matter of time before voters just keep voting themselves more and more gibs.
Its less about the taxes and more about the government spending the taxes. In the 1920's every member of congress would be hanging from a noose if they were pulling this shit back then.
Elijah Morgan
unbelievably based and red pilled.
Landon Turner
More than that. Every dollar the government collects in taxes, is eaten up by social security and Medicare. Everything else, is borrowed. We're fucked.
David Morales
Jesus christ this makes me sick. Now Trump wants to give my crypto gains to laqueesha so she can buy lobster tail and have money leftover for a bottle of hennesey. Fuck.
Nathan Miller
Somebody intelligent once said something along the lines of "Democracy fails when the people realize they can vote themselves the treasury."
4chans come a long way in 10 years in 2008 you'd never see this sort of insight 5 years ago it'd be HURR DURR CONSIPRACY fpbp
Brandon Long
Americans shouldn't have brought niggers as slaves
now it's like a genital herpes on American civilization
Wyatt Fisher
telling the truth is anti semitic you total newfag
Noah Garcia
Notice how the morons from pol avoid any real counter argument like this one. while replying in force to other comments.
Adam Morales
I read his message and looked it up. Had no idea about that till now. Very interesting.
Matthew Edwards
Taxation is a basic function of the government. Without taxation a country can't do anything, they either have no money, or their money supply inflates and becomes worthless.
Elijah Wilson
Good question wasn't there something called the boston tea party
>burgers still get taxed even if they move countries absolutely imagine that
Nathan Davis
I have a bachelor's in accounting and a master's in taxation. I work in corporate tax.
Dominic Martin
1913 creation of the fed no income tax before then the current financial system is literally a tool of enslavement If you are able to truly grasp how it works, you will understand how inescapable this enslavement is (so long as the system keeps existing). youtube.com/watch?v=iFDe5kUUyT0
