Speaking of taxation without representation - why do we allow people who live exclusively on the taxpayers' dime without ever contributing to vote? Don't they have a verifiable conflict of interest voting?
Also, why aren't dual citizens forced to choose one country in which to vote? Why are dual citizens allowed to hold government office in the USA?

Because Jews

It's not only Jews who hold dual citizenship but since Israeli citizenship is based on genetics, they can't relinquish it. We must end dual citizenship, there's no beneficial (to human sovereignty and Western Civilization) reason to allow it.

Government dependent people are the government's ace in the hole. I recall back in 1973 or so, America passed the 50% mark when more people were receiving from Washington than contributing. Harry Browne noticed. The idea was basically, folks, it is downhill from here on out. He was right.

Stopped paying before the individual mandate went into effect. Unconstitutional governments do not have my support.

Even if they just stopped federal withholding and forced people to write a check to the IRS every quarter like small businesses do, it would change everything because people would understand just how much the government takes. If you never see the money, it just doesn't register (look at all the crazy people who paid less to the government and then complained that their refund checks were so small last year!!).

90% couldn't afford the big payments which is why they withhold. The goy take it up the ass every 2 weeks.. But its only 5 days worth of work pay so not enough revolution/non-pay anger

They can't afford it now either, something must wake them up to this fact. Esp. when our tax money goes to shit like this (honestly they're killing their own hollowcost narrative by creating more survivors every decade):

The government is already insolvent, it doesn't seem to matter.

They don't even need to take taxes, they could just print more money and use inflation as the tax. It's all a big sham, the system is insanely fucked

They will just print money and use it to jail you... dumbass.

It's the only recourse we have. Starve the beast who so willingly devours our children in sweat and bloody endless wars for Israel and S.A.
