No amount of your stolen labor is ever enough for the corrupt United States government, which is committed to taking as much of your money as possible through unjust taxes and other scams.
In order to cover its constant trillion-dollar spending bills, which ship the fruits of your labor off to places like Ukraine and Israel, the powers that be have created a litany of deceptive schemes to swindle and defraud you.
“The government’s schemes to swindle, cheat, scam, and generally defraud taxpayers of their hard-earned dollars have run the gamut from wasteful pork barrel legislation, cronyism and graft to asset forfeiture, costly stimulus packages, and a national security complex that continues to undermine our freedoms while failing to making us any safer,” maintain John and Nisha Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute.
“Americans have also been made to pay through the nose for the government’s endless wars, subsidization of foreign nations, military empire, welfare state, roads to nowhere, bloated workforce, secret agencies, fusion centers, private prisons, biometric databases, invasive technologies, arsenal of weapons, and every other budgetary line item that is contributing to the fast-growing wealth of the corporate elite at the expense of those who are barely making ends meet – that is, we the taxpayers.”

Borrowing $6 billion a DAY against our future
The U.S. government has become so bloated that it has to borrow an additional $6 billion per day in order to pay its bills – bills for things that most Americans do not even approve.
The powers that be are basically living off what amounts to high-interest credit cards, the balances of which never get paid off as interest accrued shoots for the stratosphere.
Most of the U.S. national debt was accrued in just the past two decades, believe it or not. And with each passing day, that debt skyrockets at an exponential rate, meaning it is compounding faster and faster over time.
There is no scenario in which the national debt can ever be paid off in the current paradigm. It will eventually reach a breaking point that unleashes the biggest collapse this nation and the world have ever seen, and will ever see.
Four presidents, 10 sessions of Congress, and two wars are responsible for the bulk of America’s current national debt, which is estimated to be about 130 percent larger than the entire gross domestic product (GDP) of the nation.
“In other words, the government is spending more than it brings in,” the Whiteheads write.
“The U.S. ranks as the 12th most indebted nation in the world, with much of that debt owed to the Federal Reserve, large investment funds and foreign governments, namely, Japan and China.”
The Federal Reserve, by the way, is neither government nor a reserve of any kind. It is a private central banking cartel that is robbing the nation blind while shifting all the wealth to a handful of wealthy families and their minions, which currently rule the Western world.
Interest payments on the ever-growing national debt now massively exceed the amount the government spends on veterans’ benefits and services, as well as on education, disaster relief, agriculture, science and space programs, natural resources, foreign aid and environmental protection combined.
The Committee for a Reasonable Federal Budget estimates that interest payments on the national debt are nearly twice what the federal government will spend on transportation infrastructure, and more than four times what it will spend on K-12 education.
“In ten years, those interest payments will exceed our entire military budget,” the Whiteheads warn.
