That's exactly what I mean. Thankyou. Its different on a mobile phone. I have no job so can't afford a Pc Sorry to bother, will work it out

Hunting isnt an option anymore since there isnt enough wildlife to feed people. Unless you want to hunt other humans I suppose.lol. So that's off the table. If there were no jobs anywhere then people would turn to crime and begin robbing and looting en masse until some sort of order was restored. That's just the facts. It would be like a zombie apocalypse until there was an authority that could take control of the situation and organize things. Then there would be jobs. I know bashing the government sounds "cool" but in the real world humans require authority and structure otherwise we are no better than animals.

It takes money to make money.

Because it's extortion? Because it's theft? The government tells us we have to do something to make a living, but why can they be bums and make their money off of us??? Double standard much?

Taxes did not and do not make this country the best, if you really think that I suggest you take the rose colored glasses off and look around again. They just exist to keep the rich rich and the poor poor, hell 2 percent of the US controls over 90 percent of the wealth! How can a country be great if so much of its' people is either straddling the poverty line or far below it?

Good point. People have been paying taxes since the time of ancient Babylon and Egypt, yet I keep seeing people talking as if its something that was just invented.

When did this thing called "taxes" begin?




How are roads and bridges built and schools and firestations and police paid for?




btw. It is not extortion and it is not theft....

Taxes keeping your country great? That is wishful thinking.

The hell it's not, forcing you to pay them money you EARNED against your will, is theft doesn't matter how you wanna justify it. They are nothing more than a glorified mafia, they act the same exact way.

And if you think that money they get really goes to what they say, you're very naive. This country would NOT be in the shape its' in if it did. Ever wonder why they constantly say they're losing money? Constantly needing to raise our taxes higher? Where the hell is the money going?

It's a nice thought that they give a damn about things and actually are honest about what they do with our money, but reality is they are just not. Notice they are not made to disclose how they spend, but we are? We can't get away with half the secrecy they do, why would that be?

Things are not what they seem.

Only because we have been conditioned to believe we do, and not been taught how to take responsibility for ourselves. You change that, and you change everything. The government wants us to depend on them, because as long as we do, we are easily controlled and manipulated to do and think anything they want us to. It's not in their best interest to teach us responsibility for our own personal lives, to be autonomous, so they don't teach it. If we could break away from that brainwashing, we would have a very different society I assure you.

And I think Jeannie is making the point that if there were no "jobs" as we know them now, people would find new ones in effect. They'd not be jobs like they exist now, but it'd be a means to make a living just the same.

Basically she is speaking of going back to a time before the state got its grabby hands in every single walk of life the way I see it. Government didn't create jobs, they just used what we always did on our own for their own gain. If that stopped, people would still work, just for themselves like they used to do. We would create our own jobs.
