One of the people who reads these essays and comments on them (Davy Stephenson)wrote a phrase which set me thinking. He wrote about “false taxations” in the context of carbon taxes. It is an interesting concept because it implies that some taxes are false in the sense that they are immoral or wrong, or that they (and this would be the context actually used) purport to stop a harmful thing by penalising the activity that creates that harm. In the context of carbon tax being false the argument is that as the emission of carbon is not (in the mind of this reader) a harmful activity a tax on it is false.
That set me thinking; many honourable and desirable things are taxed. Work, which is an honourable and usually a moral activity, is taxed. In the United Kingdom tax is paid by those that work and those who employ those who work. If you are innocent of a crime and are falsely accused you pay tax when you defend yourself by lawyers in court against the accusation. If you are ill and have to buy a machine to monitor your illness you pay tax on it. Usually you pay all these taxes out of work which has already been taxed.
There are also many charges that people pay that are in the nature of a tax but are imposed by commercial companies in the course of their dealings. If you wish to pursue an insurance claim (remember you have paid for the premium) you may only call some insurers on a telephone line which enables that insurer to gain a profit from your call. There are hundreds of these annoying charges which are simply ways of businesses trying to get some of your labour, some of your work, in the form of money and money is merely the medium which values your work and enables you to trade your work.
In that sense big businesses have the de facto ability to charge you a tax by creating rules that apply to their services and by changing those rules from time to time to squeeze a few more pounds out of a few more suckers. We have all seen a confusing plethora of energy tariffs, mobile phone tariffs, bank accounts where you tuck away your hard earned labour only to find that the details have been changed by the bank and you have lost some of your hard earned labour as a result of the bank’s trick.
Perhaps it may be argued that caveat emptor but it is easy for a large corporation to pull the wool over your eyes and life can be too short to spend too much time trying to unravel the wool.
It is arguable at least that much of what we consider as business today comprises no more than the getting of as much of your work for as little as possible. Because the work is of necessity valued in money, which enables us to barter our work, it becomes relatively easy for governments to tax our work and the fruits of our work.
Taxation for the common good is essential; if we choose to live in a society that protects us, heals us and shelters us then we must take a little of everyone’s work to pay for it. Where taxation becomes difficult to justify is where the proceeds of taxation are spent falsely not where the tax is “false”. It is difficult to create a tax system that is fair but it should not be beyond the wit of a society to create a system that gets good value of taxation, which does not waste it because in doing so government wastes the labour and work of the millions who have contributed to those taxes which have been wasted.
While taxation for the common good is essential taxation by corporations is not and this taxation has become a feature of modern life. Perhaps we can look forward to the day when we cut out the middleman and all simply donate our labour to a large corporation in return for something of little value and littler benefit. After all, the rich must get richer.

The fuel or licence with which these criminals rail against the invisible yet true benefactor of all plant life and in turn humans, is money/credit itself, not the route of all evil but evil’s main weapon, that basically belongs to themas supplies it and no other.
The two main credit institutions namely, Messers, Rothschilds and Rockafella have just joined at the hip to further their stranglehold upon a debtors society.
The paradigm will never be free until we have complete control of our own labour, which the illusion called money is no longer the avenue to base our survival upon by parting with a percentage of it for those who think we owe them something for basically doing nothing but print our false taxations based upon hidden chains called, corporation tax and now carbon tax, soon to be electronic toast as these people reinvent another religion based on that which we think we cannot function without, a nothing in return for their physical labour.
When is every worker in the land going to realise that it is themselves who are the greatest commodity upon this planet, who are being manipulated upon a lie in order of being fed a poison that will eventually cleanse them from this existance, as long as they hold money holy over that we call nature and real.
The printers and dealers of this illusion are not pilot fish nor a yellow rattle that live together and cling to nature without destroying their host, they are the reverse and build their own heady murder of a system that kills its host like the Varroa Destructor, they should be exposed and prevented from printing that lie.
Shake off these fleas upon the host and share out the fruits of nature or we will never be free of the rhythm in constant resolution with our whole, invite them into the collective afterwards as an equal otherwise the outcast and the smallest would be government unto themselves, will again become the lagest mess upon mankind.
Its all about the money and who follow its rhythm for an unatural gainover another, hold your hand in front of you, click ones finhers and awake from the hypnotism being supplied by liars and theives.
I guess one could call Carbon Taxes an Ex-Post-Facto Taxation as a justification for realeasing the real visible pollution itself, however, it is not a poison or at least nobody has yet died from Co2 related illnesses.
The whole escapathe is patently ridiculous and if the true pollution taking place totally unregulated by another country in the name of profit, here lies the catylist for a guilty party of indirect violence upon those persons purchasing the said products of this criminality and the wrong ones actually being costed for doing so.
It shouldbe the corporations gaining from this indirectory of carbonation who are held responsible for any clean up we can see, in the enviornment and loss of habitat and species in the process.
The law of nature or the jungle should be paramount backed by common law, not vested corporate law who simply pollute to gain the wares with which to protect themselves by encouraging the populous to buy such violences through carbon taxes.
Carbon taxes are a close stable door paradigm at best and illegal in my eyes.
The moral problem with carbon taxes is that you are permitting the commission of a wrong in return for a payment. Thus only the rich are licensed to commit wrongs.
I forgot to mention something.
In your essay you mentioned the word Take, a little of everyones labour to pathe the way for society.
This is why we are in the current predicament, if the people Gave a little of what actually mattered instead of the other way around they would soon come to realise that they actually needed each other.
As we currently stand we are being forced by the illusion of money to part with that which we do not actually own outright and that it is needed in order of our very survival, yet everything we actually need lies upon the land and under it for everyone to share as in true nature.
Why do you think Mr Rothschild said, I care not which government be in charge of a nation, give me the control of the money is all that matters.
Who owns the money, Who owns the land throughout the planet, who sets the taxes, taxes based upon the former atributions.
Not the workers of this paradigm, here on in is our problem.
The simple fact about what you have not yet realised is, those in government themselves actually encourage the wasting process by centralising the problem and handing out credit to the departments that once managed their own affairs.
This in turn encourages them to waste these credits so as to recieve the next per annum illusion or if they do not waste this block payment and actually save credits their next handout would be lower than the one before, totally unsane and as clear as the summer sun is by design invented to prepare the ground for the next stage of the illusion called a cashless and helpless society.
Centralisation of the peoples labour or taxes is itself akin to communism where the money creators who are an independant entity in a city within a city for private personal gain the key ellement creating the current debt drought and should be the single entity to be centralised within each and every sinew of the populous, JFK nearly managed this model but was prevented from raising fair taxation for and by the sinews of the land, the ones actually raising society by their actions, not stealing from them as most banks do.
We are at the stage holding a gun to our own heads as Dick says hand over your money, but the inhabitants of that coach shout out, but you must loan us some first, we haven’t any, or if there are such credits in society, please could kind highwayman tell us where from the public purse can we steal such credits as to pay your beconning.
We are as a society at the single most dangerous positions of the last century, because all of our labour is totally taxed out and there is nowhere else left to turn but to do the whip masters beconning, to stay in the current paradigm means certain death of an unsustainable and unparalel ruler of life, where once you got out what you put in, this is not the reality any more.
It is high time to start ones own system within this failing system, wise up, skill up, the system is defunct, our illusionary rulers are hung and not working for and by the people but those who they dare not mention in the house ruling 70 something.
Tax yourselves by not parting with your labour, forget the credits upon your labour or abandon all hopes of any kind of freedom because when the electronic batton upon your labour has been finalised, that labour will no longer be yours to barter.
Taxing words but truthful conecture to be realised, in a paradigm where taxes will no longer exist, don’t say I never warned you, after its too late.
