FFQF:Perpetual Debt As A Means of Slavery

When we think of slavery, we often think of white man vs. black man, as it has been ingrained into our brains since elementary school. But truly, this is a perverted view of slavery.

slav·er·y (slā'və-rē, slāv'rē)
n. pl. slav·er·ies

• The state of one bound in servitude as the property of a slaveholder or household.
• The practice of owning slaves.
• A mode of production in which slaves constitute the principal work force.
• The condition of being subject or addicted to a specified influence.
• A condition of hard work and subjection: wage slavery.

We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.

We must make our election between economy and liberty,

or profusion and servitude.

If we run into such debt, as that we must be taxed in our meat and
in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and
our amusements, for our calling and our creeds...

[we will] have no time to think,

no means of calling our miss-managers to account

but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves
to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers...

And this is the tendency of all human governments.

A departure from principle in one instance
becomes a precedent for [another ]...

till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery...

And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt.

Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression."

-- Thomas Jefferson. Source: Letter to Samuel Kercheval, Monticello, July 12, 1816

We're always hearing of that "separation of church and state" quote by Jefferson-- with progressives swinging it around like Samson's donkey's jawbone, but what of this quote above mentioned? Or hundreds of others, where he vehemently warns and admonishes us of homosexuality, heavy and undue taxation, and secular public education all of which are the darlings of progressives?

Nonetheless, undue taxation (and its largesse deemed on worthy sectors of society) is a means of enslaving those who are governed. Heavy and undue taxation by government is forced. It is never an "oops, I did it again!" event. It is FORCED. It is PURPOSEFUL. It is the enslaving of the next generation, as well as the present one, to a lifetime of labor to pay off the public debt. It is a CRIME.

You do not have to be a poor black man to be a slave to someone. Your entire life and that of your descendants is one of perpetual labor, working for the Machine that has been purchased and is controlled by that distant government.

How could it be that, before the Emancipation Proclamation, hundreds of thousands of black people never resisted their chains and bondage? How was it that so few tried to escape? Because the Massa' had brainwashed the slaves into thinking that they could not live without him; that everyone they loved and needed was here in chains, too; that the world beyond the cotton fields was a frightful place. And obviously, most of the slaves believed it so, simply because the Massa' said so.

Our government will never halt the slave trade while the slaves are happily chained. I will not believe that this system of indentured servitude for the past 100+ years is accidental. Even a cursory look at history tells me so. And this system of slavery is much more than IRS codes and being taxed by income, purchases, etc. It is a belief system, whereby we are convinced to believe that the government takes care of us-- they clothe us, regulate and manage our farms, feed us, educate us, protect us, bail us out after hurricanes, etc. It is a belief system taught and propagated from our earliest memories-- in the education system (managed, coincidentally, by the government) and constantly promoted to us by the mass media (influenced, coincidentally, by the government). It is this belief system that must be challenged and removed. Because even if the burdens of taxation are removed, and we remain dependent on the Massa', we are still wearing the chains of slavery, and it will be only a matter of time before a heavier burden is placed on us.
