Don’t be gullible: “ending taxation” means the tokenization of all assets, which will be placed in a blockchain. Access to “your” tokens will be controlled by AI, through a live-time social credit and carbon credit score.
I’m well aware of that. I’m 50 and awake since 2000 so I’ll assume deeper in this game than you are. But, there’s always more to consider than what you stated. Black pilling is the easy way out.
Maybe because tokenization could give them total kontrol of everything, perhaps using the "Everything" app? So much cheaper and more efficient than clunky government agencies.
If you want to give power back to the people you have to defund the swamp in DC. Money is the only thing that they care about. Look at what happened after WW2 the theft of our money never went back down. Repealing the amendment that allows taxation of income will kill off the DC swamp.
If this article is correct, and I haven't looked into it myself, it was never ratified? Which make it illegitimate and just take it to SCOTUS and rule it as such?
G. Edward Griffen's "The Creature from Jekyll Island" explained 30 years ago how taxation was for appearances only, since the Fed/Treasury could create money out of thin after cutting ties with the gold standard.
So f**k taxes, the Fed, and the IRS. Let them slither back to the private sector. Oh, I forgot - "the Fed" IS the private banking sector controlling an entire country's financial system.

With income tax we are punished for hard steady work. The harder we work the more we pay. With welfare and unemployment people are rewarded for sitting on their ass.
Personal Property taxes is even worse. You never really own your property. If you can’t pay thr taxes in it, they come and take your house, your car, your land. We really do own nothing. We just have the privilege to pay for it and pay to keep it once ‘your property’ is paid for.
I lived for many years under Communism 2.0 in Italy. Everything is taxed. Everyone is basically an employee of the state. Everything they’ve implemented there is being implemented here. The vast majority of Italians actually believe they live in a democratic state. It’s Communist where it matters … throughout the entire bureaucracy. They don’t care who the Prime Minister is. They’ll come and go. But the grip they have on the system is permanent.
The IRS and the deliberately deceptively named "Federal" Reserve which, despite its clever name, is a PRIVATE bank.

I say give tariffs a try. No way can it hurt our country and families more than taxation already has. And if it does we figure something else out at that time. But leaving taxation in place is killing people’s chance at a true livelihood that could make our country stronger.
And the arguments against the idea just leaves the disease in place to grow - it’s lunacy. If something in the water is toxic to life, you don’t leave it in there thinking not having it could be worse. It needs to be completely eradicated before you take another step.
Looks like a bait-and-switch scam to me. Tariffs increase the cost of goods sold to the consumer, so we're paying for the tariff in the end. The Feds can dictate any percentage they want; 10%, 25%, hell 100%, and we won't see the impact until we buy something. It's too late then for us to do anything about the tariff (tax). They (the Feds) will pick the winners and losers. If a business doesn't toe-the-line and bow down to the whims of the government (censorship, hire government cronies, mandate vaccines, etc.) they'll lay an outrageous tariff on your product and put you out of business.
Remember, the deadly war in our nation's history was fought over tariffs. 600,000 soldiers were slaughtered, some estimates that include civilians deaths put the total at over 1,000,000. All because the Feds used tariffs to penalize half of the country.
Just to be clear, I'm for getting rid of all taxes. But I get a bad feeling with all the talking about tariffs.
What we have now is a system in which chains of stores put independents out of business by arranging prices and using corporations that lower quality and reduce portion size to increase profits. These mega corporations often are foreign based and use what is, for all practical purposes, slave labor, even if it seems beneficial to the slaves. The digital world makes it possible to enslave the entire planet with a "Great Reset" which can be presented as something beneficial and wonderful, and has been, by organizations like the WEF.
In the world that I came from, something called COMPETITION encouraged small biz people to lower prices while offering more. Large business were encouraged to innovate in order to offer MORE for LESS MONEY, in order to remain competitive and win the competition.
It is a drastically different philosophy and environment than that to which we are used to now. It requires greater responsibility on the part of the buyer and the adherence to standards, quality and truthfulness. Banks would compete for your deposits and offer interest on your deposits, a deflationary effect would occur in which the value of money rises and can buy more because the hidden thief/siphoning of the Fed's money printing sprees and reserve requirements for banks along with the paralyzing robbery of taxation for which a secretary pays a higher percentage of her income than a billionaire, would be gone.
There would be dangers of course, like banks run by swindlers but we must factor in that this is the digital world of the 21st century, even with politicians who lie, the world would be different, for the better.
It is a drastic, big step to this world, naysayers and denunciations would be rampant. But it may be the only way out. The only way.

Disagree. It depends and how and on what country they are used.
And they protect the producer.
Do you really want cheap junk from China produced by slave labor ?

Once the "regulatory" agencies are reformed, our products will be competitive even with the tarrifs. But the average pay will go down, it will SEEM as though everyone is earning less, but they will son discover that their LESS dollars are buying MORE !!
That's the trick, isn't it ? In order for this to work it won't be mere imposition of tariffs. There would be systemic changes throughout the government, society, the workplace. How do i know this ? Because I grew up in that world, I remember it well. If you are young and cannot imagine such. a world, it will take some getting used to, some understanding of the intent and opportunity unleashing power of such a world. It is an alternative which the majority of economists, sociologists, philosophers, corporatistas of today would find unthinkable, unacceptable, unimagineable. But it was real and it worked, to the benefit of all.
Think about it. Simple working class people making as little as $30-$40 per week were able to build simple one family homes across the country in the first 5 decades of the 1900's while those of today can barely afford rent, are priced out of college or homebuying and are turned into credit card interest playing slaves but out of control inflation and interest rates.
I think we agree more than we disagree. You appear to be optimistic that tariffs would be the start of a chain reaction, that "There would be systemic changes throughout the government, society, the workplace." Whereas I'm pessimist that our government would fairly implement the changes necessary to level the playing field to make us competitive. From what I've seen in my six decades I believe they would create loopholes, carve outs, "favored nation" exemptions, and waivers for the tariff implementation. Amazon and Walmart would lobby (bribe) our congress for reduced tariffs that Mom & Pop wouldn't get. Hypothetically, if these tariffs were imposed across the board on everything and everyone evenly it would be beneficial to our industrial base but I doubt that would happen. For example, if all foreign automobiles had the same tariff imposed, that would aid in rebuilding our auto industry. I foresee a tariff of 100% on Chinese autos, 50% on the Japanese, and 5% on the Germans. In my view, that doesn't solve the problem. I don't trust our government to do the right thing.
I too would like to see us return to an economy where a single income was enough to afford a modest home, one or two cars and a family vacation once a year but the globalization genie was let out of the bottle and he doesn't want to go back in without a huge fight. Good discussion, thanks.
It seems likely that the Goliaths who comprise the Federal Reserve would want something in exchange for releasing the US from its Debt/s. Could that be carving out (for them) the National Parks to pay the Debt? Could it be a ginormous “Preferential Business Deal” that could industrialize from Coast to Coast?
They already hold The District of Columbia plus all federal land and buildings as collateral against the loans still outstanding from The Revolutionary and Civil Wars. It suits them well to keep us in perpetual debt.
Furthermore, on 09Mar1933, the federal government was declared bankrupt and dissolved, along with the Republic. A new currency was created. Quote: "“The new money (paper promissory notes) is issued to the banks in return for Government obligations, bills of exchange, drafts, notes, trade acceptances, and banker’s acceptances. The new money will be worth 100 cents on the dollar, because it is backed by the credit of the nation. It will represent a mortgage on all the homes and other property of all the people in the Nation.” Senate Document No. 43, 73rd Congressional Record, 1st Session.
Who is going to buy the product of all that industry coast to coast? As it is now the world is glutted with everything imaginable, and it's only going to get worse as robotics replace jobs. Look at Europe it's a basket case, up until very recently Germany was the powerhouse of manufacturing in Europe. Virtually overnight it's toast. japan Korea and now China between them have captured all manufacturing and that isn't going to change anytime soon. Just recently Trump put a hundred percent tariff on Chinese electric cars Ping retaliated by not buying American corn and soy beans. Currency wars, trade wars, then real wars. Prepare for your not too distant future as a scene from Mad Max.
Sounds wonderful real world application needs careful analysis.. I could see how AI can be applied here with digital currency, which I do not trust.. There's a way to do it. We just need to make sure it doesn't require some sort of Big Brother control system like the WEF was devising..
