Questioning the Foundations of What We've Been Taught to Accept
Introduction: The Question We're Not Supposed to Ask
"If I don't pay tax, who pays for the NHS, roads, and schools?"
This is the question that stops most discussions about taxation before they start. It seems reasonable, responsible, even moral. We've been taught that taxation is the price of civilization, that without it, society would collapse into chaos.
But what if the question itself is designed to prevent you from seeing something deeper?
What if the entire framing - "taxation funds essential services" - is a narrative that conceals where the money actually goes, who actually benefits, and what the system actually does?
What if questioning taxation isn't about selfishness or irresponsibility, but about waking up to a carefully constructed deception?
This article asks questions that most people never consider:
If the entire basis of taxation rests on legal fraud - on presumptions that cannot be proven when challenged - can it be legitimate?
Where does tax money actually go, and who really benefits?
Does government create the very problems it claims to solve?
Why do the wealthy and elite use equity and trusts to avoid what you're told is "necessary"?
Who actually builds the infrastructure that taxes supposedly pay for?
Is democracy a facade for a consistent power structure that never changes?
If the system operates on deception, is funding it moral - or complicity?
The answers may disturb you. They should.
Because once you see the structure beneath the narrative, you cannot unsee it. And once you understand what taxation actually funds - and what it actually does - the moral question becomes unavoidable.
This isn't about not contributing to society. This is about recognizing that what you think you're contributing to, and what you're actually funding, are very different things.
Let's pull back the curtain.
Part 1: The Foundation of Deception - Can Fraud Be Legitimate?
Before we discuss where tax money goes or what it funds, we need to address the foundational question:
If the entire mechanism by which taxation reaches you is based on legal fraud - on presumptions that violate the law's own requirements - can anything built on that foundation be legitimate?
The Mechanism of Tax Collection
We've established in previous articles that:
Statutes address legal persons, not living beings directly.
The "taxpayer" is a legal person
Legal persons require agents to have capacity
For you to be liable for a legal person's tax obligations, you must be validly appointed as that legal person's agent
Valid agency requires a contract meeting all six requirements: offer, acceptance, consideration, intention, certainty, capacity
No such contract exists.
What exists is presumption:
The state presumes beneficial interest transferred to the legal person
The state presumes you are agent for the legal person
The state presumes tax obligations apply to you through this presumed agency
When challenged, these presumptions must be supported by proof.
Proof of instrument transferring beneficial interest (doesn't exist)
Proof of agency contract (doesn't exist)
Proof of jurisdiction over beneficial interest (depends on the above, which don't exist)
The state cannot produce what doesn't exist. So the state operates on presumption that substitutes for legal proof.
This Is Fraud
Not colloquial fraud ("they lied to me") - but legal fraud in equity:
Fraud in equity occurs when:
Material facts are concealed or misrepresented
The concealment induces action or acquiescence
The party concealing knows or should know the truth
The party being deceived acts to their detriment based on the misrepresentation
Applied to taxation:
Material facts concealed:
That you are not the legal person
That beneficial interest never transferred
That no agency contract exists
That obligations apply to a separate entity, not directly to you
That the connection is presumed, not established
That presumption must yield to proof when challenged
Induces acquiescence:
You pay tax believing you must
You comply with demands believing they're lawful
You accept penalties believing they're justified
You don't challenge because you don't know the mechanism
State knows or should know:
The law's requirements for agency contracts
The law's requirements for transfer of beneficial interest
That these requirements are not met
That the system operates on presumption, not proof
You act to your detriment:
You pay significant portions of your labour's fruits
You accept restrictions on your liberty
You comply with obligations not lawfully established
You remain in a system of servitude based on false premises
This meets the definition of fraud in equity.
The First Fundamental Question
If the foundation of taxation is fraudulent - operating on presumptions that violate the law's own requirements for establishing the obligations claimed - can any system built on that foundation be legitimate?
Can fraud serve as the basis for moral obligation?
Most people never consider this because they've never been told:
That the legal person is separate from them
That beneficial interest never transferred
That no agency contract exists
That the whole structure operates on unrebutted presumption
They comply not because the system is lawful, but because they don't know it isn't.
If Government Operates by Deception...
If the very mechanism by which government claims authority over you - the statutory person construct, the presumed agency, the presumed transfer of beneficial interest - is based on deception...
What does that tell you about government's legitimacy?
If government is willing to:
Conceal the true mechanism of statutory obligation
Operate on presumptions they cannot prove
Enforce based on fraud rather than law
Punish those who challenge the presumptions
Maintain a system that violates its own stated legal requirements
If government is willing to deceive the very people it professes to serve, are its foundations and aims legitimate?
Or is deception itself the foundation, and control the aim?
This is not a rhetorical question. This is the question that must be answered before we discuss "who would pay for the NHS" - because if the entire system is built on fraud, the question becomes: why would you want to fund it?
Part 2: Where Does Your Tax Money Actually Go?
Let's assume, for a moment, that we set aside the fraud question. Let's assume taxation is somehow legitimate despite its fraudulent foundation.
The next question is: Where does the money actually go?
The narrative you've been taught is clear: taxes fund essential services. The NHS, roads, schools, police, fire services. The things that make society function.
But is that where the money actually goes?
Following the Money - UK Tax Revenue 2023/24
Total UK tax revenue: Approximately £1,000 billion (£1 trillion)
Let's break down the actual spending:
1. National Debt Interest: £120 billion (12%)
The single largest recipient of your tax money is interest on debt.
Not paying down the debt. Not investing in services. Just interest.
Who receives this interest?
Banks and financial institutions
Wealthy bondholders
International creditors
The same institutions that created the debt in the first place
You work, you pay tax, and 12% goes directly to the financial system as interest on money that was created out of nothing through fractional reserve banking.
2. Welfare and Pensions: £300 billion (30%)
This sounds like it helps people. But look deeper:
Why is welfare spending so high?
Wages suppressed through taxation (less disposable income)
Cost of living inflated through monetary policy
Job markets disrupted through regulation
People made dependent through the very system that taxes them
Pensions required because taxation prevents wealth accumulation during working life
The state creates dependency through taxation and economic policy, then spends tax money to maintain that dependency.
Who benefits?
Administrators of welfare systems (jobs, pensions, bureaucracy)
Poverty industry (NGOs, consultants, service providers)
The state itself (dependency ensures compliance and voting for "more services")
3. NHS and Health: £180 billion (18%)
The sacred cow. "Without tax, who funds the NHS?"
But consider:
Why are health costs exploding?
Chronic disease epidemics (diabetes, obesity, heart disease, mental health)
Lifestyle illnesses driven by stress, poor diet, sedentary work
Mental health crisis driven by debt, overwork, disconnection
What causes these conditions?
Stress from working to pay taxes, mortgages, debts
Lack of time for health due to long work hours required to maintain tax-burdened lifestyle
Processed food industries (subsidized and protected by government)
Pharmaceutical industry (treating symptoms, not causes)
Disconnected, atomized society (by design)
The system creates the health crisis, then taxes you to fund treatment of symptoms, enriching pharmaceutical companies and healthcare corporations in the process.
Who really benefits from NHS spending?
Pharmaceutical companies (massive government contracts)
Medical equipment suppliers (corporate profits)
Healthcare consultants and administrators
Private contractors providing NHS services
Not necessarily patients (waiting lists, limited treatments, rationed care)
4. Defence and Military: £60 billion (6%)
Where does this go?
Weapons manufacturers (BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, etc.)
Military contractors
Foreign interventions and wars
NATO commitments
Intelligence agencies and surveillance infrastructure
Who benefits?
Defence industry corporations (private profit from public funds)
Geopolitical interests (not yours)
Military-industrial complex
Arms dealers globally
Who pays the cost?
You (in taxes)
Foreign civilians (in bombs)
Returning soldiers (in trauma)
5. Education: £115 billion (11.5%)
"Without tax, who funds schools?"
But what does the education system actually do?
What schools teach:
Compliance with authority
Standardized thinking
Preparation for employment (not independence)
Memorization over critical thinking
Acceptance of hierarchy
That government and taxation are necessary and good
What schools don't teach:
Financial literacy (how money actually works)
Legal literacy (your actual rights)
The person mechanism (how statutory systems work)
Trust law (how the elite protect their wealth)
Critical analysis of government
Independence and self-sufficiency
The education system is highly effective - at creating compliant workers who don't question the system.
Who benefits from education spending?
Publishers (textbook monopolies)
Testing companies (standardization industry)
Contractors (building, supplies, services)
Administrators (vast bureaucracy)
The state (produces workers who accept taxation and authority)
The system works perfectly - if the goal is compliance, not education.
6. Transport and Infrastructure: £50 billion (5%)
"Without tax, who builds roads?"
But who actually builds them?
The process:
Government takes your tax money
Government hires large corporations (Balfour Beatty, Carillion, etc.)
Corporations build infrastructure at inflated prices
Corporations profit massively
Infrastructure often delivered late, over-budget, or poorly
Public pays through taxes, then often pays again through tolls or usage fees
Who benefits?
Large construction corporations
Engineering consultancies
Project management firms
Equipment suppliers
Not the public (who pay twice and get substandard results)
7. Public Order and Safety: £40 billion (4%)
Police, fire services, prisons, courts.
But consider:
Crime rates:
Driven by poverty (created by taxation and economic policy)
Driven by drug prohibition (government policy)
Driven by inequality (created by the system)
The state creates conditions for crime, then taxes you to police the crime it created.
Who benefits?
Private prison companies (profit from incarceration)
Security companies
Police technology and equipment suppliers
The state (control through policing)
8. Everything Else: £135 billion (13.5%)
Government administration and bureaucracy
Foreign aid (often to buy influence or support corporations)
Culture and recreation (limited spending)
Environmental programs (often corporate subsidies)
Housing (benefits landlords and developers more than residents)
The Pattern
In nearly every category:
The state takes your money (taxation)
The state spends it on corporations and financial interests
Those corporations profit massively
You receive substandard service
You're told you should be grateful
The problems the spending addresses were often created by the state's own policies
The question isn't "who would pay for the NHS without taxation?"
The question is "why are we paying corporations massive profits through taxation instead of having direct, community-based solutions?"
Who Really Benefits?
Follow the money:
Financial institutions (debt interest)
Pharmaceutical companies (NHS spending)
Defence contractors (military spending)
Construction corporations (infrastructure)
Welfare administrators (dependency industry)
Education publishers and contractors (schools)
Technology companies (government IT contracts)
Consultancies (advising on how to spend your money)
The pattern is clear: taxation extracts wealth from the productive population and transfers it to corporations, financial interests, and administrative bureaucracies.
The "essential services" narrative is the cover story. The actual function is wealth extraction and transfer to the already-wealthy.
Part 3: Does Government Create the Problems It Claims to Solve?
This is perhaps the most disturbing question - and the most important.
If you look carefully at the major problems in society, you'll notice something: government policy created most of them.
The Health Crisis
Exploding chronic disease rates:
Diabetes epidemic
Obesity crisis
Mental health collapse
Heart disease
Cancer rates rising
Autoimmune conditions proliferating
Standard narrative: "Without the NHS, who would treat these people?"
But why are these people sick?
Causes of the health crisis:
1. Economic Stress
Working long hours to pay taxes, mortgages, bills
Lack of time for exercise, cooking, self-care
Chronic stress from financial pressure
Debt burdens creating mental health issues
Who created this?
Taxation reducing disposable income
Monetary policy inflating cost of living
Government-backed mortgage system creating debt servitude
Economic policies requiring two incomes where one used to suffice
2. Food Industry
Processed food industries producing addictive, nutrient-poor products
Agricultural subsidies supporting corn, soy, wheat (basis of processed foods)
Food additives, preservatives, industrial production
Suppression of traditional farming and food production
Who enabled this?
Government subsidies to industrial agriculture
Government approval of additives and processes
Government regulations favouring large corporations over small producers
Government dietary guidelines (often influenced by industry)
3. Pharmaceutical Approach
Treatment of symptoms, not causes
Lifelong medication for lifestyle diseases
Suppression of preventative approaches
Profit-driven medicine
Who enables this?
Government drug approval favouring pharmaceutical companies
NHS contracts with pharmaceutical companies
Suppression of alternative approaches
Medical education funded by pharmaceutical industry
4. Sedentary, Disconnected Lifestyle
Urban planning requiring cars
Zoning separating work, home, community
Destruction of community structures
Atomization and isolation
Screen-based life
Who created this?
Government urban planning
Government infrastructure prioritizing cars over walkability
Economic policies requiring both parents to work
Education system separating children from communities
Technology infrastructure enabling isolation
The pattern: Government policies create the conditions for chronic disease, then tax you to treat the symptoms, enriching pharmaceutical and healthcare corporations in the process.
Without the economic stress, food poisoning, and lifestyle disruption created by government policy, would we need the NHS at the current scale?
The Mental Health Epidemic
Unprecedented rates of:
Depression
Anxiety
Suicide
Addiction
Loneliness
Despair
Standard narrative: "We need more mental health funding."
But why are people mentally ill?
1. Economic Servitude
Working entire lives to pay taxes, debts, bills
Retirement age pushed back repeatedly
Never able to accumulate real wealth (taxation + inflation)
Constant financial stress
Inability to escape the system
This is literally the definition of slavery - working your entire life for someone else's benefit, unable to escape.
2. Disconnection
Family structures broken (both parents must work)
Community structures destroyed (economic mobility, atomization)
Spiritual traditions disrupted
Connection to land severed
Meaning and purpose replaced with consumption
Who created this?
Economic policies requiring two incomes
Taxation preventing single-income households
Welfare state replacing community support
Urban planning destroying community spaces
Consumerist culture promoted by corporate-state alliance
3. Debt Servitude
Student debt
Mortgage debt
Consumer debt
Credit card debt
Never-ending debt cycles
Who created this?
Government-backed student loans (enabling education inflation)
Government-backed mortgages (enabling house price inflation)
Government monetary policy (creating inflation requiring debt)
Government tax policy (preventing wealth accumulation, forcing debt)
4. Loss of Autonomy
Regulated out of self-sufficiency
Prohibited from building without permission
Prohibited from educating children independently (effectively)
Prohibited from practicing medicine without license
Prohibited from growing certain foods without regulation
Prohibited from working without permits
Prohibited from living outside the system
Every aspect of life requires permission, licensing, taxation, compliance.
This creates learned helplessness, dependency, despair.
The pattern: Government policies create mental health crisis through economic servitude, disconnection, debt, and loss of autonomy, then tax you to fund mental health services that treat symptoms while the causes continue.
The Education Crisis
Declining literacy, numeracy, critical thinking.
Increasing student debt, decreasing job prospects.
"More funding needed."
But what does education actually produce?
The system is highly effective at:
Creating compliant workers
Teaching obedience to authority
Standardizing thought
Preventing critical analysis of government
Producing debt-burdened graduates
Ensuring inability to see beyond conditioning
The system is highly ineffective at:
Critical thinking
Financial literacy
Legal literacy
Independence
Self-sufficiency
Questioning authority
This isn't a failure. This is success - if the goal is control.
The education system works perfectly to produce people who:
Accept taxation as necessary
Don't question government legitimacy
Believe they need the system
Fear losing government services
Comply with authority
Work their lives to pay taxes
The pattern: The education system creates dependency and compliance, ensuring the next generation doesn't question the system, while families pay through taxes and students pay through debt.
The Crime and Safety Crisis
Increasing crime, drug problems, violence.
"We need more police funding."
But what creates crime?
1. Poverty and Desperation
Created by taxation reducing income
Created by inflation destroying purchasing power
Created by lack of opportunity
Created by systemic inequality
2. Drug Prohibition
Government policy creating black markets
Black markets creating violence
Criminalization creating prison populations
War on drugs funding cartels
3. Broken Communities
Economic mobility destroying stable communities
Welfare replacing community support
Urbanization disconnecting people
Atomization creating isolation
4. Systemic Inequality
Wealthy using trusts and equity to avoid taxation
Masses trapped in statutory servitude
Two-tier system creating resentment
Hopelessness creating desperation
The pattern: Government policies create poverty, desperation, and black markets, then tax you to police the crime that government policy created.
The Fundamental Pattern
In every major social problem:
Government policy creates the problem
Economic policy creates stress, poverty, debt
Regulatory policy creates dependency, loss of autonomy
Monetary policy creates inflation, wealth destruction
Social policy creates disconnection, atomization
The problem grows
Health crisis
Mental health epidemic
Education failure
Crime and disorder
Government presents itself as the solution
"We need more funding"
"More services needed"
"More programs required"
Taxation increases
To fund the "solutions"
Which enrich corporations
While problems continue or worsen
The cycle repeats
Government creates problems, then taxes you to fund "solutions" that enrich corporate interests while maintaining the problems that justify continued taxation and control.
This isn't incompetence. This is design.
Part 4: The Two-Tier System - Why the Elite Don't Pay
If taxation is so necessary, so essential, so moral - why do the wealthy and elite systematically avoid it?
And why are they able to do so legally - using the very same equity and trust law principles that the masses are never taught?
The Elite Use Trusts and Equity
The mechanism we've been discussing - express private trusts, beneficial interest, equity law - is exactly what the wealthy use to protect their wealth from statutory obligations including taxation.
How it works:
1. Wealth Placed in Trusts
Living being creates trust
Trust holds all assets
Living being is beneficiary (holds beneficial interest)
Legal persons and entities are trust property (bare legal title only)
2. Income and Assets Structured Through Trusts
Employment income directed to trust structures
Business ownership through trust-held entities
Property held by trust-owned entities
Investments held in trust structures
3. Statutory Obligations Apply to Legal Persons
Tax obligations apply to legal persons (companies, statutory persons)
Legal persons are trust property with bare legal title only
Beneficial interest is in the trust (for the beneficiary)
Trust determines when to authorize engagement with statutory claims
4. The Elite Access Beneficial Interest Without Statutory Attachment
Beneficial interest flows to beneficiary (the living being)
Statutory obligations attach to legal title (the trust property)
Separation of title and beneficial interest allows wealth accumulation without statutory extraction
This is exactly what we've been explaining in previous articles.
The difference: The elite are taught this. You are not.
Why This Reveals a Two-Tier System
If taxation were truly necessary and moral:
Everyone would pay equally
The law would not permit trusts to separate beneficial interest from statutory obligations
The elite would not systematically structure their affairs to avoid taxation
The very existence of these mechanisms would be considered tax evasion
But instead:
Trusts are completely legal
The wealthy are never prosecuted for using them
Accountants and lawyers specialize in these structures
The elite openly discuss "tax efficiency" and "wealth protection"
The law explicitly permits separation of title and beneficial interest
This reveals the truth: The system has two tiers.
Tier 1: The Elite
Taught about trust law, equity, beneficial interest
Use these tools to protect wealth from statutory obligations
Accumulate and pass on wealth across generations
Never face the full weight of taxation
Control the system
Tier 2: The Masses
Never taught about legal persons, beneficial interest, equity
Conditioned to believe they ARE the legal person
Conditioned to believe taxation is necessary and unavoidable
Pay full statutory obligations
Trapped in servitude
Never accumulate real wealth
Controlled by the system
The Questions This Raises
If the elite - the very people who benefit most from government, who have the most influence over government, who claim government is essential - systematically avoid paying for it, what does that tell you?
It tells you they know:
Taxation is not actually necessary (or they wouldn't avoid it)
The statutory system is optional (or they couldn't avoid it legally)
The masses are being deceived (or they wouldn't need to be taught differently)
The system exists to extract from the many to benefit the few (or it would apply equally)
If there were truly "no alternative" to taxation funding essential services, the elite would pay.
But they don't. Because they know there IS an alternative. And they use it.
The Moral Question
If the system has a back door that the elite use freely, while the masses are told there is no alternative and must pay:
Is this a legitimate system serving the public good?
Or is this a two-tier control structure with:
Controllers (who know the law and use it to protect their wealth)
Masses (who are kept ignorant and trapped in servitude)
The existence of the two-tier system - provable by the elite's use of trusts and equity - exposes that taxation is not necessary. It's optional. But only if you know how the system actually works.
And the masses are deliberately not taught this.
Part 5: Who Actually Builds the Infrastructure?
"Without taxation, who would build the roads?"
This question deserves serious examination. Because when you look at who actually builds infrastructure, the answer reveals yet another layer of deception.
The Standard Story
The narrative:
Government collects taxes
Government builds infrastructure
Public benefits from infrastructure
Therefore taxation is necessary for infrastructure
But is this what actually happens?
What Actually Happens
The reality:
1. Government Collects Taxes
From workers, businesses, transactions
Approximately £50 billion annually for "transport and infrastructure"
2. Government Hires Corporations
Balfour Beatty
Carillion (before collapse)
Skanska
Costain
Kier Group
BAM Construct
Amey
Interserve
And many others
3. Corporations Build Infrastructure
Roads
Bridges
Railways
Public buildings
Utilities
4. Corporations Profit Massively
Government contracts at inflated prices
Cost overruns standard (government pays)
Delays standard (no penalties)
Quality issues standard (no accountability)
Executives and shareholders profit enormously
5. Public Pays
Through taxation (to fund contracts)
Through usage fees (tolls, tickets, charges)
Through private financing (PFI/PPP schemes with interest)
Multiple times for the same infrastructure
Who Actually Does the Work?
The physical labour:
Construction workers (not highly paid)
Engineers (employees, not owners)
Tradespeople (subcontractors)
Skilled labourers (working class)
These people:
Pay tax on their earnings
Do the actual building
Receive a small fraction of the contract value
Are workers, not beneficiaries
The profit:
Corporate shareholders
Executives
Financial backers
Private equity
Not the people doing the work
Not the people paying for it (through taxes)
The Real Question
The workers who build infrastructure - they exist regardless of taxation.
These people:
Have skills
Have tools
Have knowledge
Have ability
Have willingness to work
The question isn't "who would build roads without taxation?"
The question is "why do we need government as expensive middleman extracting massive profits for corporations?"
Historical Reality
Throughout history, communities built infrastructure without centralized taxation:
1. Community Organization
Villages built roads, bridges, wells
Communities organized collective projects
People contributed time and labour
Results benefited the community directly
2. Voluntary Cooperation
Merchants funded roads for trade
Communities funded schools for children
Neighbours built barns together
Mutual aid societies funded healthcare
3. Direct Benefit Model
Those who use pay proportionally
Those who benefit most contribute most
No taxation of non-users
No corporate middleman extraction
Infrastructure was built for millennia before income taxation existed.
The Romans built roads without taxing income.
Medieval communities built cathedrals without income tax.
Early America built extensive infrastructure without income tax (introduced permanently only in 1913).
The idea that "without taxation, infrastructure is impossible" is historically false.
The Modern Alternative
Without government as middleman:
Option 1: Direct Community Funding
Community identifies need (road, bridge, school)
Community funds directly
Community hires workers directly
Workers are paid fairly
No corporate profit extraction
No government administrative costs
Result: Better infrastructure, lower cost
Option 2: User-Pays Model
Those who use infrastructure pay for it
Direct relationship between use and payment
No forcing non-users to pay
Market prices ensure efficiency
Competition ensures quality
Option 3: Mutual Aid Societies
Communities pool resources voluntarily
Fund projects that benefit members
Operate on trust and reciprocity
Have existed for centuries
Provided roads, schools, healthcare before welfare state
Option 4: Beneficiary Funding
Those who benefit most from infrastructure (businesses) fund it
Direct investment model
No extraction from workers
Market determines value
The Current Model Is Extraction
Under the current system:
You (worker) pay tax - wealth extraction from productive class
Government takes cut - administrative costs, bureaucracy
Corporations get contract - at inflated prices
Shareholders profit - from your tax money
Workers build - receiving small fraction of contract value
You pay again - through tolls, fees, charges
Infrastructure often substandard - cost overruns, delays, poor quality
No accountability - government and corporations face no real consequences
This isn't "taxation funds infrastructure."
This is "taxation extracts wealth from productive class, transfers it to corporate shareholders, while workers build infrastructure and public pays multiple times."
The Answer to "Who Would Build Roads?"
The same people who build them now - workers with skills and tools.
The difference without taxation:
Communities organize directly
Workers paid fairly (no corporate profit extraction)
Users pay proportionally
No government middleman costs
No corporate shareholder profits
Better infrastructure, lower cost, direct accountability
Taxation doesn't build infrastructure. Workers build infrastructure.
Taxation just ensures that corporate shareholders profit massively from infrastructure while workers are underpaid and the public pays multiple times.
So the question isn't "who would build roads without taxation?"
The question is "why are we paying corporations massive profits through taxation instead of organizing ourselves?"
Part 6: Is Democracy a Facade?
This question cuts to the heart of the entire system.
If everything we've discussed is true - fraud in the person mechanism, taxation funding corporate profits rather than services, government creating the problems it claims to solve, a two-tier system where elite avoid obligations - how does this persist through democratic elections?
Why doesn't voting change any of this?
The uncomfortable answer: Because democracy, as currently structured, may be a facade masking a consistent deep state engine.
The Observable Pattern
Regardless of which party is "in power":
Economic Policy
Taxation continues and increases
Debt continues to grow
Corporate profits protected
Financial sector expansion
Wealth inequality increases
Same economic advisors, same policies
Foreign Policy
Same wars continue
Same interventions
Same weapons purchases
Same alliances
Same geopolitical goals
Same intelligence operations
Corporate Welfare
Same subsidies
Same contracts
Same bailouts
Same regulatory capture
Same revolving door between government and corporations
Control Mechanisms
Surveillance expands regardless of party
Regulations increase regardless of party
Personal freedoms decrease regardless of party
State power grows regardless of party
The Fundamental Structure
Legal person mechanism continues
Presumed agency continues
Statutory obligations continue
Trust law protecting elite continues
Two-tier system continues
Masses remain trapped
Nothing fundamental changes with elections.
The Partisan Theatre
What does change with elections:
The rhetoric (left vs right, progressive vs conservative)
The symbolic issues (culture war topics)
The personalities (different faces, same policies)
The messaging (targeting different demographics)
The blame (everything is the other party's fault)
What this creates:
1. Division
Left vs right
Progressive vs conservative
Working class vs working class
Divide and conquer
2. Distraction
Focus on symbolic issues
Ignore structural issues
Culture war instead of class war
Pronouns instead of power
3. False Hope
"Next election will be different"
"We just need the right people"
"Vote harder"
Prevents people from seeing the structural problem
4. Controlled Opposition
Both sides controlled
Acceptable debate within narrow parameters
Fundamental questions never raised
System itself never questioned
What Remains Consistent Regardless of Elections
The Deep State Structure:
1. Permanent Bureaucracy
Civil service continues
Intelligence agencies continue
Regulatory agencies continue
Same staff, same priorities, regardless of elected officials
2. Corporate Power
Same corporations benefit
Same contracts awarded
Same subsidies paid
Same influence over policy
Regardless of which party is "in power"
3. Financial System
Same banks
Same central bank
Same monetary policy
Same debt expansion
Same beneficiaries
Regardless of elections
4. Military-Industrial Complex
Same weapons manufacturers
Same defence contracts
Same interventions
Same wars
Regardless of elected government
5. Legal Structure
Legal person mechanism continues
Statutory obligations continue
Trust law protecting elite continues
Masses trapped in presumed agency
Regardless of which party holds power
The Signals That Expose the Facade
If democracy were real - if voting actually changed who governs - you would expect:
1. Different Policies Between Parties
Actual different approaches
Actual different beneficiaries
Actual different results
Instead: Same core policies, same beneficiaries, same trajectory
2. Accountability for Failures
Politicians punished for lies
Policies reversed when they fail
Systems changed when they harm
Instead: No accountability, policies continue, systems expand
3. Representation of Public Interest
Policies reflecting public good
Corporate power constrained
Wealth distributed more equally
Instead: Policies serve corporate interests, corporate power grows, wealth concentrates
4. Transparency
Public able to see decision-making
Clear explanation of policies
Honest disclosure of interests
Instead: Secret meetings, undisclosed influence, regulatory capture
5. Change When Public Demands It
Wars ended when unpopular
Taxation reduced when burdensome
Surveillance stopped when exposed
Instead: Policies continue despite opposition, expanding regardless of public will
The Function of Elections
If elections don't actually change who governs or what policies are implemented, what function do they serve?
1. Legitimacy
"You voted for this"
"This is democracy"
"You had a choice"
Provides cover for unpopular policies
2. Consent Manufacture
Participation implies agreement
Voting implies accepting the outcome
"If you don't vote you can't complain"
Traps people in the system
3. Pressure Release
Allows public frustration to be channeled safely
"Vote them out next time"
Prevents more direct action
Maintains false hope
4. Division
Left vs right keeps people fighting each other
Prevents unified opposition to the system itself
Divide and rule
5. Data Collection
Who votes for what
Geographic patterns
Demographic targeting
Intelligence on the population
What This Reveals
If the same fundamental policies continue regardless of elections:
Same taxation and debt
Same corporate welfare
Same wars
Same surveillance expansion
Same two-tier system
Same servitude for the masses
Then elections are not selecting who governs.
Elections are a facade providing legitimacy to a permanent power structure that remains consistent regardless of the theatrical partisan changes.
This is not democracy. This is controlled opposition within carefully managed boundaries.
The deep state - the permanent bureaucracy, corporate interests, intelligence agencies, financial institutions - continues regardless of elections.
And the legal structure - the person mechanism, the presumed agency, the extraction system - continues regardless of partisan change.
The Implication
If democracy is a facade, if voting doesn't change the fundamental structure, if the system continues extracting from the masses to benefit the elite regardless of elections:
Then the moral question becomes urgent.
Because you cannot reform a system designed to extract from you.
You cannot vote your way out of servitude when the servitude is the system itself.
You cannot change through elections what elections are designed to preserve.
Part 7: The Moral Question - Fueling the Beast
We've established:
Taxation operates through fraud - presumptions that violate law's own requirements
Tax money flows to corporate interests - not to the services you're told it funds
Government creates the problems it claims to solve - deliberately maintaining crises
A two-tier system exists - elite avoid obligations, masses are trapped
Infrastructure could be built without taxation - and would be better and cheaper
Democracy is a facade - fundamental structure never changes regardless of elections
This brings us to the ultimate question:
If government is a lie, based on deception, operating through fraud, serving corporate interests, creating the problems it claims to solve, maintaining a two-tier system where the masses are enslaved while the elite are free:
Is paying tax moral?
Or is it fueling a beast that devours humanity?
The Standard Objections
Before examining the moral question, let's address the standard objections that arise from conditioning:
Objection 1: "But we need government for essential services!"
Response:
We've shown government doesn't provide these - corporations do, at inflated profit
We've shown these services could be provided better and cheaper without government middleman
We've shown the "essential services" are often treating problems government created
The elite don't fund this system (they avoid taxation) - why do they get these services?
Objection 2: "Without taxation, there would be chaos!"
Response:
Most of human history occurred without income taxation
Communities organized essential services through mutual aid
The current system IS chaos - war, debt, servitude, chronic disease, mental health collapse
The "chaos" argument is conditioning, not evidence
Objection 3: "We have a social contract!"
Response:
Show me the contract
When did you sign it?
What were the terms?
A contract requires agreement - where's yours?
"Social contract" is a philosophical concept, not a legal contract
Presumption is not contract
Objection 4: "You benefit from society, so you should contribute!"
Response:
Contributing to community is not the same as funding corporate extraction
Voluntary contribution is moral; coerced extraction is not
The question is whether THIS system deserves funding, not whether cooperation is valuable
The elite benefit most but contribute least - where's their obligation?
Objection 5: "What about the poor, sick, elderly?"
Response:
These groups existed before welfare state
Communities cared for them through mutual aid, family, church, community organizations
The current system CREATED mass poverty and sickness (as we've shown)
The current system BREAKS family and community structures that previously provided care
The welfare state replaced community care with bureaucratic dependence
Who do you trust more to care for the vulnerable - neighbours or corporations?
The Moral Framework
To determine if an action is moral, we can ask:
1. Is it based on truth or deception?
Taxation operates through fraud in the person mechanism
Government conceals this deception
Based on deception
2. Is it voluntary or coerced?
Statutory obligations enforced through penalties, seizure, imprisonment
No genuine opt-out available within current structure
Coerced, not voluntary
3. Does it serve the stated purpose?
Claimed: funds essential services
Reality: enriches corporations, maintains servitude
Does not serve stated purpose
4. Does it respect human dignity?
Treats living beings as legal constructs
Operates on presumed servitude
Maintains two-tier system (controllers and controlled)
Violates human dignity
5. Does it create flourishing or suffering?
Creates: debt, servitude, chronic disease, mental health crisis, war, poverty
Prevents: wealth accumulation, independence, community, self-sufficiency
Creates suffering
6. Is it consistent (applied equally)?
Elite avoid through trusts and equity
Masses trapped through ignorance
Two-tier system
Not applied consistently
7. Can it be sustained without force?
Requires threat of imprisonment
Requires seizure of property
Requires surveillance and enforcement
Cannot be sustained without force
By every moral measure, the current taxation system fails.
The Beast Metaphor
Think of the system as a beast:
The beast requires feeding:
Your labour (taxation)
Your freedom (regulation)
Your property (seizure)
Your children (education system)
Your health (stress, dependency)
Your consent (through deception)
What does the beast produce?
War (death and destruction)
Debt (servitude)
Sickness (chronic disease, mental health crisis)
Dependency (welfare state)
Surveillance (control)
Division (partisan theatre)
Extraction (wealth transfer to elite)
The beast grows:
Regulations increase
Surveillance expands
Debt accumulates
Control tightens
Freedom decreases
Servitude deepens
The beast never shrinks:
Regardless of elections
Regardless of reforms
Regardless of promises
The trajectory is always: more control, more extraction, less freedom
The beast is fed by taxation.
The Question
If you now see the beast - if you understand that taxation doesn't fund services but feeds a system of extraction and control - is continuing to pay it moral?
Three possible positions:
Position 1: "It's necessary evil"
Accept that it's deceptive and harmful
But claim there's no alternative
Continue paying to avoid consequences
Analysis:
This is conditioned helplessness
We've shown alternatives exist and historically existed
The elite don't participate (they have an alternative)
This position accepts servitude as necessary
It requires believing government propaganda over evidence
Position 2: "Work within the system to reform it"
Accept the current structure
Try to change it through voting and advocacy
Hope for gradual improvement
Analysis:
We've shown the system doesn't change through elections
The fundamental structure persists regardless of partisan change
Reform efforts are either absorbed or destroyed
This position assumes the system CAN be reformed
But if the deception and extraction are the system's PURPOSE, reform is impossible
The elite don't try to reform it - they exit it (through trusts)
Position 3: "Withdraw consent and support"
Recognize the system as illegitimate
Stop funding it where possible
Develop alternatives
Help others see the truth
Analysis:
This requires courage and accepts consequences
But it's morally consistent - not funding what you recognize as harmful
It requires using the same legal tools the elite use (trusts, equity)
It requires building alternative structures
It treats the problem as structural, not partisan
The Moral Clarity
If you continued paying protection money to a crime syndicate after recognizing it for what it is, would that be moral?
Most people would say: No. Even if refusing has consequences, funding crime is complicity.
If the government operates through:
Fraud (person mechanism)
Deception (concealing the fraud)
Extraction (taxation flowing to corporate interests)
Servitude (presumed agency)
Violence (enforcement through imprisonment)
Created crises (health, mental health, crime, poverty)
Two-tier system (elite exempt, masses enslaved)
Then continuing to fund it is not morally neutral.
It is complicity.
The Utilitarian Trap
Some might argue: "But refusing to pay harms you more than it harms the system."
This is utilitarian reasoning - accepting wrong because resisting is costly.
But this logic justifies any servitude:
Slavery: "But escaping harms you more than accepting it"
Abusive marriage: "But leaving is costly"
Totalitarian state: "But resistance is punished"
If we accept this reasoning, we accept that might makes right - that whatever can be enforced is thereby justified.
Moral action sometimes has costs. That's why it's moral - it prioritizes truth over convenience.
The Community Question
"But what about community - won't withdrawing from the system harm our communities?"
Consider:
The current system:
Destroys communities (economic mobility, atomization)
Replaces community care with bureaucratic welfare
Breaks family structures (both parents must work)
Prevents community organization (regulations, permits)
Extracts wealth that could support community
Creates dependency on state instead of community
Withdrawing from taxation while building alternatives:
Retains wealth within community
Enables mutual aid and voluntary cooperation
Strengthens family and community bonds
Supports local organization
Reduces dependency on distant bureaucracy
Restores human-scale cooperation
The current system doesn't support community - it destroys it and replaces it with state dependency.
Withdrawing support from the system while building alternatives strengthens actual community.
The Final Question
Now that you see:
The fraud in the foundation
The deception in the mechanism
The extraction masquerading as service
The crises deliberately created
The two-tier reality
The facade of democracy
The beast that feeds on your labour
The question is simple:
Will you continue to fuel it?
Or will you withdraw your consent, stop feeding the beast, and help build alternatives that actually serve human flourishing?
This is the moral question each person must answer for themselves.
But the answer requires first seeing the beast clearly - which most people never do.
Now you see it.
What will you do?
Conclusion: Right? Wrong? or Necessary?
Let's return to the title question: Paying Tax: Right? Wrong? or Necessary?
RIGHT?
No. We've established that taxation:
Operates through fraud (person mechanism based on unrebutted presumptions)
Is based on deception (material facts concealed)
Doesn't serve the stated purpose (funds corporate interests, not services)
Creates servitude (presumed agency without contract)
Is applied inconsistently (elite avoid, masses trapped)
Causes harm (health crisis, mental health epidemic, dependency)
By no moral measure can a system operating through deception, extraction, and servitude be considered "right."
WRONG?
Yes. When we apply consistent moral principles:
Deception is wrong
Coercion is wrong
Servitude is wrong
Creating harm is wrong
Two-tier systems are wrong
Funding harm is complicity
The system of taxation as currently structured - operating through fraud, funding corporate extraction, maintaining servitude - is morally wrong.
NECESSARY?
No. This is the most insidious lie - that there is "no alternative."
We've shown:
Infrastructure was built for millennia without income taxation
Communities organized essential services through mutual aid
The elite avoid taxation using legal tools (proving it's not necessary)
Most tax money goes to debt interest and corporate profits (not services)
The problems government "solves" are created by government policy
Democracy is a facade (the system continues regardless of elections)
Taxation is not necessary. It is a choice. But only the elite are taught they have a choice.
The masses are conditioned to believe they have no alternative - while the elite freely use the alternative (trusts, equity, beneficial interest separation).
The Real Questions
The question was never "is taxation necessary?"
The real questions are:
1. Do you see the deception?
The person mechanism fraud
The presumed agency
The concealment of beneficial interest
The two-tier system
The theatrical democracy
2. Do you recognize the harm?
Wars funded
Debt servitude
Chronic disease epidemics
Mental health collapse
Community destruction
Wealth extraction
3. Will you continue to fund it?
Through acquiescence to presumptions
Through identification with the legal person
Through payment based on conditioning
Through belief that there's no alternative
4. Or will you withdraw consent?
By understanding the legal mechanism
By establishing your beneficial interest
By challenging the presumptions
By building alternatives
By helping others see
The Choice
The system presents you with a false choice:
Pay tax OR face imprisonment
Fund the system OR watch society collapse
Accept servitude OR embrace chaos
But there's a real choice the system conceals:
Participate in the fraud through conditioned acquiescence:
Identify as the legal person
Accept presumed agency
Pay statutory obligations
Fund corporate extraction
Maintain servitude
Accept what the elite reject
OR
Recognize the legal mechanism and respond accordingly:
Understand you are not the legal person
Recognize no agency contract exists
Establish your beneficial interest formally
Challenge presumptions that cannot be proven
Use the same legal tools the elite use
Withdraw from servitude
Build alternatives
The elite made their choice long ago - they chose freedom through knowledge of law.
The masses are kept from making this choice through deliberate ignorance.
The Awakening
If you've read this far, you're waking up.
You're seeing:
The person mechanism fraud
The presumptions substituting for law
The extraction masquerading as service
The crises deliberately created
The two-tier system
The beast that feeds on consent
Once you see this, you cannot unsee it.
And once you see it, continuing to fund it becomes a moral choice, not a necessity.
The Path Forward
This doesn't mean:
Causing harm
Violating common law
Refusing cooperation
Embracing selfishness
It means:
Understanding the legal mechanism
Withdrawing consent from fraud
Establishing your beneficial interest
Challenging presumptions
Using law correctly (as the elite do)
Building genuine alternatives
Helping others wake up
The path forward is through knowledge - the same knowledge the elite have always had and deliberately withheld from the masses.
Taxation as currently structured is:
Not right (operates through fraud and deception)
Wrong (causes measurable harm, maintains servitude)
Not necessary (alternatives exist and historically existed)
But it continues because most people never question it.
They've been conditioned to believe:
They ARE the legal person (they're not)
No alternative exists (it does)
The elite pay too (they don't)
Services require taxation (they don't)
Democracy can fix it (it can't)
There's no choice (there is)
Now you know differently.
The question is: What will you do with this knowledge?
Will you continue feeding the beast?
Or will you withdraw your consent, establish your freedom, and help others wake up?
That choice is yours. It always was. You just didn't know you had it.
Now you do.
This article is for educational purposes, examining the moral questions surrounding taxation, the legal mechanisms by which statutory obligations operate, and the structural issues in current governance systems. It is based on established principles of agency law, trust law, equity, constitutional law, and historical analysis. Nothing in this article advocates causing harm or violating common law obligations between living beings. It advocates for questioning systems that operate through deception, demanding truth from those who claim authority, and understanding the legal tools the elite use to protect their freedom - tools that should be available to all.
