It’s not just our homes, it’s everything. What isn’t taxed to the point of absurdity? And now there’s extra fees on restaurant bills to help pay for employee healthcare, sick days, vacation…..It may not be a tax but it’s another way of bilking us out of our money. Not to sound cold but these aren’t my employees, why should I help pay for their healthcare. It’s the cost of doing business and if you can’t afford it then maybe owning a business isn’t in the cards for some. No matter how you slice and dice it, we will forever be slaves to our debt society. It’s a matrix that is inescapable. “Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants, debt is the money of slaves”.

The legislators in Idaho have been trying to scale back the Education Budget and place MORE money into the hands of the taxpayers. The education rebate only affects the lowest income so far with much push back from lobbyists. On the National front though, Trump appointed Linda Marie McMahon as Secretary of Education. She and her husband created Titan Sports and the World Wrestling Entertainment company and has been involved in a sexual abuse lawsuit. Once the parasites opened the door through deception and lies to tax families into a two income system to survive than we as a country are doomed. Good article and have been enjoying your podcasts.

I have been expressing that fact to people for years. Why do they fight that fact? And when people get to vote against higher taxes they almost always vote for higher taxes. People are idiots.

An excellent analysis. "Tjey will tax the pennies on your eyes!" From the Beatles TAXMAN....So true. Bo
