My kind of woman; taking care of business! I adore the stories you pull from our history. Thanks and God Bless you. The US steals the money we earn from the sweat of our labor. Just as bad as slavery, in my mind, because feds can seize our property, just like an evil master. I admire her tenacity. Appalachian people are resourceful. They're intelligent, and when they're wronged, Lord help the person who did the wrongin!

@user-gu1jk4qn6b - While I understand your sentiments, remember that fairly structured and enforced taxes are merely the just and necessary rent we pay to live in a better country. During what many consider the good old days, up through the 1950's when one wage was enough to buy a decent life for an entire family AND send the kids to college, the richest paid 50% in taxes. Average CEO pay was only 3X the average worker's salary. Today the richest pay only around 17% and have enough loopholes to dodge much of that. Even Warren Buffet says it's wrong. CEO base salaries outpace worker salaries to the point that the latter would have to work around 2 millennia for the same haul. In order to remedy the situation, first you need to listen to Economics and History 101 so you'll understand just whose hand is in your pocket and who your slavemaster really is. Plus realize that massive coordinated effort (ie, government) is by far the most efficient use of large funds. Otherwise go out and try to build your own road, school, hospital, army etc and see just how far you get. Ayn Rand was a sociopath. She still appeals to many college students bc they're too young to have learned much or acquired wisdom.

@frostyfrances4700 5 ай бұрын

@user-gu1jk4qn6b and @lamontpearce170 - While I at least kinda understand your position, may I suggest a somewhat broader outlook. Fairly assessed and collected taxes are merely the rent we OWE for living in a much better country than shortsightedness believes. First of all, dismiss this idea of individuals as an island. Nobody makes it in this world alone. Anyone who thinks they do should just go out and try to build their own school, hospital, road, army etc. Government itself is not necessarily evil - that's determined by the type of representative/ruler we the people collectively install or permit. Back in the 1950's during what many fantasize as 'good old days', the super rich were taxed at a rate of about 50%. That's how the interstate highway system came to be, along with other things we take for granted today. Most CEO's back then made only 3X what the average worker got. It was common for one salary to be enough for decent lodging and the support (and education) of an entire family. Today the average CEO makes maybe 600 times more than most workers and is only taxed at around 13% with plenty of loopholes to dodge much of that pittance. Five men have gobbled up more than the bottom 50% of the country entirely. Even Warren Buffet says that's wrong and unsustainable. Not to mention the huge number of corporations that effectively pay ZERO taxes. So if you're concerned about theft of the fruits of your labor, first figure out who the real slavemaster is with his hand in your pocket, promoting fear and hatred of your fellow citizens who might not look or worship or think exactly as you do. Otherwise you'll keep fighting against your own valid interests instead of the robber barons seeking to keep you divided against your neighbors. Before you go to war, first figure out who your actual enemy is.

The taxes we pay doesn't pay for the things you listed ! The printing of currency pays for that witch extracts your wealth (buying power) if you don't understand this you will in less than 5 years from now . Or maybe your so far gone you won't even notice? Please wake up !! We need you.

My father (born in 1917 in Mercer County, West Virginia Coal Mine Town of Weyanoke) ran 'shine' in southern West Virginia and southwestern Virginia from his 1st cousins still operation in Giles County, Virginia. He drove mine Timber from their sawmill with the moonshine hidden in the load. When he delivered the mine timbers to the mines, he sold the shine to the miners. World War II interrupted and he enlisted in the US Army Air Force. When he returned from the South Pacific Campaign in 1945, he went work as a Class A Transmission Lineman for Appalachian Power Company in Bluefield, WV.

I grew up in a dry county in Eastern Kentucky in the 70s and early 80s. Remember riding through the drive through windows at many local bootleggers with my Dad.😊
