When government can take everything without paying for anything you have slavery. THERE IS NO BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT PAYING ANYONE FOR ANYTHING!!! The non payment is not detected by many because very few know that the dollar, by law, is still a measure of silver in coin form. Such coins do not cerculate. The slaves are sastisfied but not paid with check that order banks to pay. We can get goodies for the checks and banks will give us dollar bills that the IRS (Imaginary Revenue Scum) said "are not dollars." There would be no wars if soldiers and suppliers had to be paid but they pretend they are paid with checks, pretend that government spends and pretend we have freedom. We are free only in the sense that our Marxist misleaders can use us, amuse us, abuse us and confuse us without paying any of us. The reason that ball players, entertainers, journalists are rewarded (not paid) with big checks is that they must keep us and themselves amused, confused and defused at all costs whie we and they bear the costs with ever higher prices for food, gas, etc. The ideal slavery from the masters' viewpoint is when most slaves will ridicule and punish the few who won't confess vua 1040 to how much we were cheated with what Nobel Laureate, Paul Samuelson calls "counterfeit." The Imaginary Revenue Scum have four functions but collecting money is not one of them. Those functions are to intimidate, regulate, interrogate and incarcerate. By sending them checks that only authorize banks to reduce our numbers, our consumption is regulated. In 1820,, John Maynard Keynes wrote: "If governments should refrain from regulation,...the worthlessness of the money becomes apparent and the fraud upon the public can be conceald no longer." "We are all Keynesians!"--President richard Nixon The tax illusions is but one means of regulation.

His contemorary, Horace Greeley said that Lincolns iniquitous money system "is no less cruel than the old system of chattel slavery." Lincoln's legal tender acts constitute legal slavery. See: www.morpix.biz/god Hoards of "money experts" condemn this system but they have nothing to say about legal tender. they have no desire to gain our freedom, they only want to change our masters. The want Vongress to do what the fed is doing! "None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe that they are free."--Johann W. vonGoethe
