Just find it funny that the American Revolution was sparked in part by a 5% tax. They would be burning everything in sight if they had to deal with today's taxes.
Calculated my effective tax was about 55% at one point. Income Fed/State Tax, SS, Medicare, Property, Sales taxes on everything you buy. It's getting out of control really.
Blame the current income tax situation on the prohibitionists. In order to get alcohol banned, the government needed to come up with an alternate source of revenue. Unfortunately, by the time prohibition got repealed, FDR came into power and the government wanted the extra money for the New Deal. Later they wanted to fund a war. Now the federal government is bloated in social programs and "defense." Not sure why the US feels it needs to outspend the rest of the nations in defense. It's especially ridiculous since most of the wars we have been involved in since WWII has resulted in stalemates or a loss. Only victory that I recall was Operation Desert Storm.
first ban alcohol, say that tax to compensate needed, introduce new taxes, legalize alcohol tax it and keep the new taxes = more for them. then send them to die in a war...
Sure, it might be tax exempt for the state, but it's not tax exempt for federal.
taxes can be opposed politically or by civil war...
What would you do if they make bitcoin and all form of crypto illegal in the us, possession, trading, like alcohol during the prohibition?
Does your elected representative want to regulate or make cryptos illegals? Maybe even fighting all forms of encryption technology from the public hands?
In India a long time ago there was a monkey who was seeing very well even at night, and he always observed a specific cow, all the time, the cow was very annoyed from this constant observation and tried everything for the monkey to stop his constant harassing watching. then the cow was sad. shiva saw the sad cow...
and before all the nations all they had build was gone, in one instant.
Life is a casino? Which shop accept btc on the strip for chips btw?

"getting" ?
The US was one of the countries that I was considering moving into for tax reasons. But the fact that they have a fucking exit tax on top of the already criminally high tax rates put me off. Not to mention all the fucking idiots that feel like starting shit in public for no good reason (retards like the dipshit in Vegas, Antifa, etc.). Having to look up if there's some stupid event that should best be avoid whenever I go out doesn't seem particularly fun.
add crumbulling infrastructure, total individualistic egoistical hyper competitive life style, total segregation between wealth groups... poor it is gmos, frack fluids, radioactive trails, low end tier system for everything public, from firefighters, to hospitals, to police to parks to justice to education... while on the other side it is fossil water from the fidji, clean nano filtred air from private jets, mcmansion with helipads far from frak exhausts, gmo and pesticides spray zones, radiation fall outs (only for those with an iqs, the others are failswitchs)...
digitalization + globalization will only make the flaws more evident, until becoming aberrant and then borderline stupid.

The US Defense Industrial complex is the biggest social program in the US. Some programs in development are not even wanted by the military itself. It is usually defense contractors lobbying their congressmen to get the contract included in the budget so there are more jobs in the congressman's district. It's all about the jobs.
graves and funerals have a tendency to reset all surviving military system, the others died.

the u.s. is the modern rome. it rules over an imperium that is the biggest and mightiest in history. this is the pax americana. the u.s. itself and all its allies, especially western europe have lived very well in the past decades because of this imperium. it needs to outcompete the entire world because it rules -almost- over the entire world. the wars the u.s. fights are not about winning but about destabilizing.
and one point roman senators and populace were smart, educated and rooted in common sense... then they chose a certain metal for their pipes...

My guess is either the whale(s) has/have a short position to cover or they want to suppress the price, so they can accumulate for a later pump.
finally thanks!

Most Americans don't know that in 1913, a permanent Federal income tax was passed into law primarily because it was sold to the American citizens as a "tax on the rich". And they bought it.
Ever since then, the rich have been lobbying Congress to pass tax loopholes to enable the massive shift from taxing the rich to purely taxing the middle class and the poor.
Smart fuckers. Learn to play their game, or get left in the dust.
How could they have known without the internet? You believe that in Kansas they knew about what was going on?
