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 Unfortunately, by the time prohibition got repealed, FDR came into power and the government wanted the extra money for the New Deal.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 US 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 the US have been involved in since WWII have resulted in stalemates or a loss. Only victory that I recall was Operation Desert Storm. 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.

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

Whats with these huge sell walls ??
1100 BTC between the current 10,8k and 11k ...
(@Bitstamp)
I have been observing it all day. It appears someone is buying up anything that goes on sale below $10800. My guess is they will pull the wall when they have accumulated their target amount of bitcoin.

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.

"Jobs" is a good excuse that resonates with voters but without the "fear" component these jobs wouldn't be in the military industry. Fear is good for business.

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? Just find it funny that the American Revolution was sparked in part by a 5% tax.

"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.

Whats with these huge sell walls ??

Huge sell walls up to $11100 on bitstamp but its being bought into at a steady pace. 1800btc atmo
Remember the bear whale's wall on bearstamp? Suppressing the price with walls doesn't always work. The bearwhale wall wasn't a suppression, it was a sale. When it didn't go fast enough, he lowered it until it did. He did not ease it up as it got nibbled at 325. he pushed it down into bids at 275. I might have the numbers off a bit, it was a while ago. But I watched it all the way through, and even grabbed a bit of it off the bottom.

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.
Quick guesstimate puts me in the 80-90% range, after they compound tax on top of tax on top of... Most people don't realize all of the taxes paid on their goods before they even hit the stores, whereupon they pay more taxes, using taxed money... At some point the snake will swallow it's own head lol
