Someone sent me a video snippet featuring a lovely (and persuasive) young lady listing the many freedoms US once had before the institution of governmental controls took away individual autonomy and replaced it with taxes, laws and controls. The segment concluded with the punch line suggesting that most of US in the Divided States of America (DSA) are merely free-range humans living on a tax farm.
I find this statement to be true and best achieved in a police state under the guise of democracy! Currently, where business controls the economy of a country — we tend to call that country a democracy. Whereas, countries where the government controls commerce tend to be referred to as dictatorships and/or terrorist states.
So what exactly is a \”police\” state and do US qualify as a police state?
For those who have never considered the DSA a police state — here\’s a definition for you:
A police state describes a state whose government institutions exercise an extreme level of control over civil society and liberties.
The aforementioned young lady also expounded upon how infringements of governmental control can lead to fines, arrest and jail/prison time: You can\’t collect your own rain water in Colorado lest you be fined. Try installing your own solar energy storage or panels and see how that flies with the utilities! \”They\” have made it so expensive to purchase solar collectors that it forces many of US to stay on the grid when we would prefer to be in charge of our own energy generation.
If you think about it — the middle class bread earners of the DSA are the most taxed and tightly regulated group of workers on the planet…yeah…free-range tax payers working their butts off after being lured and seduced into perpetuating the search for that fading American Dream — which sees one imagining him/herself as a millionaire: driving that perfect car with the perfect look; and, drinking the perfect beer (formerly Budweiser but now Modelo [Montezuma\’s Revenge?]). Attempting to achieve One\’s American Dream can certainly distract One from realizing that everything in the DSA comes at a cost.
As we all know — it\’s more expensive to buy a free-range chicken than a cooped up chicken because all of that exercise out-of-doors supposedly makes for a meatier and healthier meal. That\’s why it behooves the corporate \”farmers\” (and men in the shadows) to keep us happily deluded that we are free and achieving the American Dream — despite being taxed up the yinyang. We free-range tax payers are literally taxed every minute of our free-range lives!
I could provide you a litany of all-of-the-taxes and controls we have — but it will make a stronger impact if you do your own tally!
I feel like I\’m living in a police state.
The Middle Class takes what \”they\” are giving and we keep on working for a living because we have been brainwashed into believing that we are living free.
Might this be the common meeting point for The Red and The Blue? Might we join in the realization that this is taxation without representation?! Hopefully this won\’t be too woke for Redlanders! They need them to be angry about this and not be distracted by Trump and Biden! Just think what the Redlanders might accomplish if they break out of the echo chamber and realize they\’ve been taking it up the butt! They could potentially motivate The Blue too!!
