Yes, they complained about high taxes. And the tax rate they complained about was NOTHING compared to what we have to pay.

Government taxes are forced charity for non production and are collected by people that produce nothing but debt for the masses.Government needs a modern update from this outdated approach.

We already know that. The rebellion against Rheheboam, Solomon’s son and heir, was about taxes, and it caused a permanent split in the Kingdom of Israel.

The 1st way to deal with the issue is to end the money changers “the fed” in America and return to a currency backed via an asset.Bankers rape their victims financially and have been doing this for thousands of years.This must stop.

I read an excellent article about how the Roman Emporer’s ever-increasing need for tax money led to such micro-management of the economy that the role of every citizen and trade was prescribed to the point that it created the thousand year-system of serfdom in Europe.

I don’t really think it requires much of a study, to come to the conclusion that people do not like to be taxed.

The Article was written in ISTAMBUL. Anger at High Taxation is far reaching!
