Govt and taxes are a pyramid scheme

Prove me wrong cause it sure seems that way. Not claiming private or public owned organizations are seperate from the govt entity.

I got to agree with you on this one. Especially Social Security. I have a bad feeling I will never see a dime of it. I hope the boomers enjoy LOL

They will have plenty of money for social security. They can just print more money and give it to people. It just won't be worth fuck all.
Government is more of a cartel than a pyramid scheme, because they have enforcers for compliance and go to war.

Sad but true.
If republicans have their way there will be no social security. When a lot of their base relies on it. Then the repubs can spend that money on war that we'll likely all lose.

IDK, But I think at this time of age the US has become more of a private investment scheme for outside entities. Sadly most US billionaires dodge paying taxes and hold their assets in foreign banks barely making interest at the same time giving nothing back to the country / society. This is my theory to the cause of the constant social erosion we are witnessing taking place. The current system has been hijacked for short term gains of a small few groups, while the rest of the population is becoming financial slaves and our infrastructure is deteriorating.

So, I assume your family was well off enough to not need the publicly funded schools that taught many of us to read to use these forums then 
I mean, otherwise, it does seem a little strange for people to so wholly disregard systems that they clearly benefit from on the regular. Contempt for inefficiency is one thing, but disregard for realities is another.
For those of us without private helicopters and ATVs to get around when there's no more public roads or transport in the hypercapitalistI mean libertarian utopia, I dunno. It seems like some moderation is in order. Feudalism ought to stay dead, imo

I would like to agree with you, which I do to an extent -- however this is more behind it than that.
You can't necessarily look at it at face value, and things could be a hell of a lot better if certain organizations didn't exist.

Inflation is another form of taxation that will become VERY important in the near future.
Printing way more money than there is value going around and spending that surplus money first.

In response to the public schools bit - Public schools were created to train will be factory workers the necessary skills for them to do those jobs.
Really it still functions the same, the shitty jobs are just different. Another system of control lol
