With regard to being in the way of paying income taxes, my grandparents were alive at the time that the so-called "sixteenth amendment" was declared (fraudulently) ratified by the lying Philander Knox. It was supposed to only be a tax on the income of the very rich so they did nothing much. A little later, there was a world war to distract people further and justify having higher taxes and on more people. But there was a war on, so people weren't supposed to be rebelling against taxes. And there were Palmer Raids in which the department of injustice raided individualist groups and deported people who didn't love the government enough. Often these were American citizens who were sent to countries they had never even visited.

In my dad's time, there was no withholding of income tax from payroll. Then FDR and Churchill orchestrated the attacks by Japan on Malaysia, Singapore, Batavia, the Philippines, and Hawai'i and deceived the public into believing that the Japanese fleets had kept radio silence (the direction finding results of multiple US Navy antenna stations in 1941 were declassified in 1999 and appear in the appendices of Robert Stinnett's book _Day of Deceit_ and we have other receipts as well) and pretended they weren't reading all the Japanese and German radio traffic.

So a nasty little man named Milton Friedman came up with the idea of a "victory tax" in early 1942 and payroll withholding of income tax was born. They let the little gnome looking mf have a television show in the 1970s called "Free to Choose" because he was a Chicago school monetary theorist type economist and so he thought people should be only partly enslaved. His son had better ideas. See _The Machinery of Freedom_ and other books by David Friedman. His grandson, Patri, is working on free market jurisdictions.

Thus, my dad, who was dealing with a lot of poverty in the 1930s and whose mom was from a German Jewish family and dealing with her friends in Germany being disappeared by the Gestapo (thanks in part to substantial investments by the British "royal" family), did not much. Grandma died in 1938, officially the death cert says "cancer" but she had a broken heart. Dad was raised by her brother. In 1940 he joined the junior ROTC in high school to get better rations for the family. FDR's administration promised that the junior ROTC would not be drafted but allowed to proceed to officer candidate school. FDR also lied about that, so my dad was drafted in early 1942 about the time payroll withholding of income tax became a thing. His uncle had insisted that dad take typing, so he checked that box "Do you know how to type" on his induction form, and became a first sergeant in the Signal Corps. He was good with maths so he encrypted and decrypted communications from the front in Europe. He also handled a lot of the photos from the death camps that were liberated by American troops.

So, again, the income tax thing got worse, and there was a global war to distract people from doing anything about it. There was a certain amount of rebellion in, say, Athens Tennessee in 1949 but that ended up with a reasonable resolution and didn't spread. Truman, although a freemason and therefore a demon worshipper, certainly did his part in immolating human beings for the demons he worshipped. But he chose to de-regulate the entire economy and closed the war powers boards in 1948, which finally began the long awaited post-war economic boom. People went back to their base position which is they don't care what is going on in the district of corruption, assume it is nothing good, and as long as they can make a living and set some money aside for their family, they don't worry about it.

There was a guy who cut taxes a great deal in 1961-63 and wanted to restore the issue of silver backed money. He had ambitions to eliminate the cia, end the feral reserveless scheme, and not escalate the war in Vietnam. So a group of hard core demon worshippers at the fbi, cia, dod, and secret service conspired to murder him in 1963. We continue to deal with the aftermath of those events.

There was a small rebellion in congress in 1977-78 because too much evidence of the cia's perfidy had been circulating, so there was a foreign corrupt practices act, a committee to investigate the assassinations of JFK, RFK, MLK, and Malcolm X by government agencies, and there was talk of a balanced budget amendment to limit the size and scope of government. The Shah of Iran was brought to the USA to bring about the capture of the embassy in Teheran, and another war was used to distract people from the corruption. Even so, Reagan wanted to close the departments of energy and of education but they shot him in his first year in office and he stopped talking about that stuff. He did freeze the regulatory infrastructure, by executive order forbidding all new regulations, but George HW Bush was an evil, blood drinking, murdering, demon worshipper and opened up the new regulations thing good and wide. He was replaced in 1992 by hard core demon worshipping commies.

So, really, you don't pay income taxes because you are less gutsy and independent than your ancestors. Your ancestors handed you a shit sandwich, and if you get more bread you may notice the nasty taste a bit less.

Oh! I know this one. A credit score is the numeric condensation of the extent to which you borrow money, mostly keep paying it back, generally run a high balance, have to pay interest on said balance, and occasionally pay late fees. The more of these things you do, the higher the number banks, lenders, loan sharks, and gooferment agencies assign to you so that you can get even deeper into debt and have a harder time paying your way out. What's next? Did you want me to tell you about the vig?
