The working-class rip-off has just begun! A storm is breaking, and it is not because of climate change, but because of economic change! The economic storm is transforming the human landscape and forging a new form of economic enslavement, where government taxes and policies have turned the working class into cruel serfs.

The invisible chains of economic slavery are cutting deep. Think about a family of four where the main earner makes $20 per hour. Although this may appear to be a respectable salary at first glance, a more somber picture becomes apparent when you consider the taxes and fees associated with basic needs. The American tax system has evolved into a maze of intricate levies and hidden fees that stealthily take away the wages of industrious people, particularly in cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.

Tax trap catching imprisoning the most vulnerable. The American families, akin to a defenseless creature attempting a simple meal, find themselves ensnared in a perilous and lethal snare! The majority of Americans are unaware of how much they must pay for the necessities of life. Not only does the federal income tax reduce their take-home earnings,. Almost all necessities, including grocery and utility expenses, are subject to several tax rates!

Families pay taxes on garbage collection, sewer services, water, and electricity each month. Taxes and fees are often a significant portion of your phone and internet bills, accounting for up to 20% of the total cost.

Taxes are an unavoidable expense, whether you're buying gas or a pass for public transit. Federal, state, and occasionally even local taxes apply to gasoline alone, making transportation an increasingly expensive necessity.

Wellness and health costs are skyrocketing! Even family health items are subject to government taxes. Sales taxes apply to over-the-counter drugs, diapers, and even birth control, which further reduces the working poor's purchasing power.

Invisible living expenses produce visible results. Politicians frequently claim the federal tax burden is minimal, but they ignore the many additional ways the government levies taxes on the working class. Some cities have combined sales taxes as high as 9.5% in Los Angeles, 8.875% in New York, 10.25% in Chicago, and more than 10% in Birmingham and New Orleans. Not only do these tariffs affect luxury goods, but they also apply to commonplace items like toys, school supplies, and apparel.

Property taxes, another expense associated with home ownership, can total thousands of dollars per year. Renting isn't an escape either, because landlords charge tenants directly for utilities, insurance, and property taxes, making affordable homes more and more difficult to find.

The real cost of taxes on working families is staggering! The total tax burden can be crippling for a family making $80,000 a year, which is a modest salary in many parts of the country. With sales taxes, payroll taxes, and state, federal, and municipal taxes, this family may see up to 36% of their income go toward funding the government. That's about $30,000 a year, which could have been used for savings, food, education, or just getting by.

This astounding sum does not even account for the indirect costs of government initiatives, which include devaluation of the dollar due to massive government expenditure, green laws, and inflation brought on by decreased energy production. Working people face crippling debt due to inflation, which has caused the price of staples like bread and beef to increase by almost 50% in a few years.

The Resurgent of serfdom is coming to you, and there is no "Duck and Cover"!

The American working class is essentially a slave to invisible chains of taxes and fees that prevent them from ever truly thriving, effectively reducing them to economic serfdom. The promise of the American Dream has given way to the reality of an economic nightmare in which a bloated government mercilessly siphons up labor products from every individual.

Final Word: This is a screw-job brought on by the tax drunk regime and they expect the America people to pay and pay and pay. While We the People, did not initiate this calamity, we undoubtedly bear the brunt of its dreadful impact. The reality is the individuals we entrusted with managing our affairs in Washington have printed a colossal mountain of money, devaluing it to the point where it is approaching worthlessness, losing value daily.

But don’t worry the bloviating Politicians bellow: “Just like Covid, the government will come to your rescue”.  (thats what I am afraid of)
