Public Enemy No.1
The Sixteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution declares property tax illegal, a tax on unrealized gain.
The most evil creation of government is taxes. No government should be permitted more than one form of revenue to pay its bills.
The second evil is a national central banking system removed from the central branch of government. In our case, the Federal Reserve System and Central Banks allowed to operate and exist outside the Department of Treasury.
Both have the power to destroy. Both do.
Real property taxes on homesteads have placed 37% of the American population in bankruptcy. Taxes are a true form of confiscation or legal plunder.
Many people losing their homes are single-person homeowners. They have no second income to fall back on or savings and are facing eviction.
The tax code is written to be unfair. Budgets are always kept in deficit because politicians want tax bills in the red to constantly raise taxes.
There are no insolvable problems. It’s not inflation; it’s not the economy; it’s not one political party; it is all elected government officials holding office as a result of Bad Voting.
You vote either for spend and tax, or restrained spending and no taxes. Governments tax the land you walk on, the place you sleep at night, the food on the table you eat, the clothes on your back, and your children.
Property Taxes are the greatest cause of home-owner forfeiture, bankruptcies, financial hardship, and divorce. Taxes penalize 95% of the population and keep them poor one generation after another.
So, on this note consider this. Often American born citizens can’t get ahead. Then an immigrant comes to America and becomes a first-generation millionaire …?
How was this possible …? The money they brought with them was never taxed in their country which gives them an absolute advantage with large amounts of startup capital.
The wealthy class in other countries pay very little or no taxes on their income. This money-capital position would give the opportunity to become a millionaire or billionaire. Americans are severely penalized in becoming prosperous, one continuous generation after another.
This is a morally reprehensible game. You might consider moving your citizenship to another country, save all your income, and come back to America with several million tax-free dollars in cash and easily establish a financial empire.
There are families who have immigrated here and brought with them hundreds of millions of dollars of tax-free wealth. Americans haven’t got a fair chance competing against these odds.
Wealthy immigrants bring their families to America and each member brings with them tax-free cash. Then they quietly buy or start a business or run for public office.
There are immigrants who were living in poverty and hardship, and become American citizens passing through our legal system. Many become millionaires by hard work, chance, or gifted by the system.
The only way to wealth accumulation is tax avoidance, tax exemption, tax minimization, or tax violation. It’s sort of like the stock market, the only way to invest in stocks is when you have insider information because the stock market is a totally controlled computer game.
Unless you’re from another planet, you are aware of the corruption in Washington and New York. If you are an American this makes you a second-class citizen and penalized from the very start of your life.
There are $5.1 trillion in taxes due on the national debt owed by ISD Independent School Districts in bonds and interest not being paid. Homestead debt loads translate into negative manufacturing activity, slowing marketplace in sales, deflation of goods and services, and a rise of bankruptcies of individuals, small and family businesses.
Avoiding the Property Tax Scam
It is illegal not to pay all your taxes due. But it isn’t illegal to structure your life and business to minimize taxes.
Another sound approach to lowering your largest tax bill is to have no mortgage, no debt, $10,000-$100,000 cash saving account in a bank, and no other payments.
Tax awareness is important …
GOOD Taxes
Sales Tax (internal in aggregate – every citizen pays)
Import Tax (external tariff tax – foreign businesses pay)
Social Security Tax (only government retirement permitted under law – everyone pays)
Under the current system of laws and statutes, elite retirement plans are only available to special designated groups or classes. You are excluded because you aren’t a member of the club.
The only public government retirement stem that should exist is Social Security for all, for everyone, and no exceptions. Everyone should pay into Social Security and all other public retirements programs cease and desist immediately.
This includes congressional, federal, state, county, and city separate retirement programs paying out in addition to Social Security. Multi-government retirement programs overlapping are unnecessary and an increasing tax burden on young adults and families.

Taxes destroy countries, families, and lives. None of these taxes existed till last century.
You voted for the politicians you elected to office to tax you into poverty. Isn’t it time to get rid of the People’s Enemy No.1.
