Look to the HISTORY OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION. People stood in bread lines for an entire day for BREAD, its why the phrase A CHICKEN IN EVERY POT"
FDR. FRANKLIN DELANOR. ROOSEVELT
STATRED SOCIAL SECURITY FOR THE WORKERS WHO HAD NOTHING AFTER WW2 it was never a hand out
everyone since the. has EARNED ALL OF SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS
it was never ever , meant to FUND THE GOVERNMENT. OR THE PRESIDENT.
IT IS OURS, WE PAID INTO THE FUND FOR DECADES, for retirement for medical. for OUR NEEDS
not to be stolen by the government
or used to fund wars, that's a lie that THE WELL IS DRY FOR FOOD BENEFITS? That's a big fat lie too, that Republicans can spend
60 million on a Halloween party
40 BILLION on a forgien country that desperately needs help?
900 MILLION ON A BALLROOM?
who knows how much was spent on renovation of the Lincoln bathroom
or how much ybe DEMITIO LITION OF THE HISTORIC EAST WING.cost the taxpayers?
THAT IS. WASTE. FRAUD AND VERY MUCH ABUSE OF THE TAXPAYERS MONEY

Here’s just a few reasons why taxes are benefiting the American people. Roads, bridges, parks, fire departments, police departments, social security, and Medicare. Conservative means never asking how or why.

Back then, almost all the US government's money came from tarriffs. Then progressives in both parties came up with income taxes in the form of the 16th Amendment. It must have seemed like a good idea at the time.

Jekyll Island. Start there.
A secret meeting took place on Jekyll Island in November 1910 involving a small group of influential bankers and policymakers, whose discussions eventually led to the creation of the Federal Reserve System. The group included Senator Nelson Aldrich and representatives from major financial institutions such as J.P. Morgan and Rockefeller interests. To avoid public and press scrutiny, they disguised the meeting as a duck-hunting trip.

Back then 97% of the population were working by the age of 12 if not sooner
Everything was relative to income and only 1% bought things they really didn’t need. The industrial age was just starting and WW1 was just ahead.
No welfare programs to create a class of lazy nothings and no freebies handed out by the low class D’rats just to buy votes.

Extorted? FDR sold the US citizens into slavery. It's called the Federal Income tax. It did not exist before FDR. He went to the Rothchilds Bank(Now the Federal Reserve) for a loan to get the US back out of Bankruptcy. The bankruptcy still exists in the form of a Federal Deficit and to pay the loan back it's called Federal Income tax. Don't pay it and see what the "slave owners" have to say about it. Slavery because we are not paid a United States Constitutional "legal currency" such as gold or silver and being handed "promissory" noted called "dollar bills."

that's odd, that is the exact year the federal reserve was created and the federal reserve act which gives the federal reserve immunity from audit. the federal reserve has nothing to do with the fed government and they have been enslaving and robbing Americans for decades.

Well, they’re talking about the Snapp benefits now the government asked for list of all Snapp reciprocates! 29 states gave him a list 21 states said no in fact two of them are suing the government for even asking! What they found so far Snapp benefits were going out to 5000 people who are dead. They found one guy receiving snap benefits from six different states.! They just started digging fraud and waste and this is the only country in the world or you have $1100 iPhone yet you think you need 300 and some dollars every month extra! I bet you they all have cable too and I haven’t had cable in 20 years! And I still get more than 40 stations for free!
