Are my taxes going to repair a road that niggers destroyed in an intercity slum? Are my taxes going to life saving treatment for a 25 year old 600 lb obese beaner? Are my tax dollars going to defend Israel? That's where we have problems now.
Hitlers Germany had taxes, mussolinis Italy had taxes, the US had taxes for its entire history, the ancient romans had taxes, the ancient Greeks had a tax for the wealthy and tariffs. Almost everyone had taxes either through tariffs or percentage of income. Okay what would the difference be? Well, one actually directly feeds into the benefit of the nation and thus for you directly, it's a long term investment that benefits everyone in a homogenous and rigorous society. The other one pays for Shaniquas dialysis and schlomos bombs for Palestinian schoolchildren.
The guy in the meme isn't technically wrong but taxes are no longer used for a good reason. It's just to fund zog and your enslavement.
People act like taxes just popped into existence one day because of jews. No, that's not it. Every functional government... ever. Since Sumer for fucks sake. Has had taxes. The government has to have revenue *somehow*. The articles of confederation made it so that the federal government of the US had to beg for states money for funding, and it was an absolute calamity. Oh, and the state governments still levied plenty of taxes under the articles of confederation. Go figure.
Tariffs or income taxes, every society has done it. Except maybe some isolated tribe of pygmy negroes in Africa, but they still probably have a system of taxation to a tribal chieftain or something via goods instead of currency. If I remember correctly even chimpanzees understand taxes. They at least understand money. Rome would not have lasted 5 seconds if it had no taxation.
If you do not want taxation, be an anarchist. There has never been a functioning government that did not have taxes or tariffs. Even if you have zero income or sales tax, you're more than likely paying a tariff, which is a tax, and which have pissed off plenty of people in the past just like income taxes.
So, if a landowner earned 500 bucks or 5 million bucks or nothing at all … was completely irrelevant (except of course regarding his ability to pay the taxes).
Relevant was, he did own a piece of land, and a house on it, an olive orchard, and 100 slaves, and three dozen livestock, and all of this together was estimated to be worth 100,000 bucks by the tax department … so, normally you payed 1,000 bucks in taxes for it, but could go up to 2,000 in emergencies or 3,000 in really dire “we’re fucked”-emergencies. That 3% rate was of course unsustainable over any longer period of time. Return on Investment on your landowner assets would mostly be somewhere between 1.5% and 2% - under good conditions. Much lower
It was not always particularly fair and not always light. The romans also had a version of sales tax.
However, a tax is a tax. I'm not here to argue that American taxation is not inherently unfair, it is. But there are people who will argue that *all* taxation is unfair and should be gotten rid of. Which is both untrue and would lead to a societal collapse.
