In most societies, people are forced to pay taxes for their income, value added taxes and so on.
The individuel is rarely allowed to choose WHAT his tax money goes too. From my own perspective in Denmark, people who have an income above € 8000 a month have to pay top taxes which is 65 % of your whole monthly salary.
This money go to warfare in Afghanistan, and before in Iraq, the royal family and a lot of other stupied things.
I believe forced taxes is robbing the individuals resources when you are not allowed to refuse. I believe we should stand up and claim a reformation of the whole taxation system.
What do you think?

I don't know whether the tax system needs to be reformed or not, but there should DEFINITELY be included in the voting-system, the ability to check and uncheck the things we do or don't wanna pay for.
The problems that WILL arise from this is however that many people are not going to want to pay for things that You may want to keep available and vice verse. There are more people in the world today for instance that WANT each country to have an own defense for instance, than there are people that feels that defenses would be meaningless for as long as you don't piss people off in other countries.
As a Danish person you can probably appreciate the "Jyllands-Posten"-incident and its fallout as an example there on how wrong things can go in the world of free speech just because it's free. ;)
Anyway, if the Danish people were allowed to choose today then all refugees will definitely have to, and that would be a bad choice today since we're pretty close to that "an enemy with the strength of 3 armies invading from the east"-prediction since many Syrians for instance, have begun to realize that their TRUE enemy is actually supported by the west. That will create a wave of rage spanning over and including many countries and we are GOING to need all those accepted Syrian refugees that got help from us, to tell their brethren when the time comes, that the people (we) they're after are innocent and did not CHOOSE their govts to support Al CIAda.
If you throw them all out due to choosing to not to pay for them, nobody is going to speak on your behalf when 200 thousand angry men are standing at your borders claiming their right of retribution. ;)
Anyway, that's just one small small small (perhaps 0.0023%) piece of the magnitude of problems that awaits you to deal with should you regain the rights to decide about your taxes Right This Minute. Who knows what it would be like if this happens say 5 years from now? Especially if you get to ponder for a while on what I have just said. :)
It is important to point out though, that it will take 3 times the energy to solve the problems of today, than it originally took to create them.
Regaining TOTAL responsibility WILL mean pretty hard work for EVERYONE.
If a sewer is being needed for instance, you need to get out there and dig. Forget meditating for world wellness.
It's not your thoughts the world needs. It needs your Ability to Contribute. :)
thank goodness I am not part of this scheme since I dont pay taxes for over a decade now. Sure , I shop for food where taxes cant be avoided but nothing else. And in summer I grow my own food so I can trully say that I am tax free for the most part................
How are you being able to tunnel tax free money into your country and then to you, to spend then? ;)
I couldn't agree more Si! I myself am seriously considering moving to Dubai where there is no taxes. I hate being forced to support crimes against humanity through my taxes.

It's all a part of the tape worm economy to put us into poverty. It's a fact the taxes don't go to where they are meant to, because those places always yell "there is no money!". So it's obvious someone is taking our money without having the choice where they go. It's not like you have to go pay a bill every month to taxes, they are drawn straight from your salary before it even hits your bank account. It's so stupid that the whole economic system needs a full blown collapse to prepare for something that will benefit humanity and the planet better, we have the resources, but if we are kept locked in poverty we are stagnating and becoming depressed and desperate, finding it hard to live out our passions.
I for one actually hate being a part of this society. I do like my work, but I feel it's taking too much time with very little in return, and I have no safety in it. I want to travel the world, but for that I would need to fall back expecting someone to pick me up before i smack to the ground. Relying on the law of attraction to provide you with all you need for all you desire is easier said than done, I know it works, but it only works in the way you limit it to. I feel stuck in a position I don't want to be, deprived of the freedom to go where I want becuase I am a part of this society where you are expected to live to work and whatever freetime is left - have not enough money to do anything bigger.
I'm really sick of it and I often get the feeling what would happen if I just tried to give the middle finger to society and do what I wanted until my money ran out, where would I end up? Would I become a homeless beggar, stuck in a different country? I feel I have so much within me to be a service to this planet, but I don't know just what and how I can do. Where I am right now I feel really stuck and it can be really depressing facing this every day..
I coudn't agree more Ogdoo
