Well sadly this won’t change- but we could individually start to look at alternative barter currency so that we can let them trade useless pieces of green paper with satanic talismans of new world order all seeing eye symbols and it would not bother us so much

Yeah, I agree that it is better when trade with alternative currencies, cryptocurrencies, gold, silver, salt, natural resources, etc. Would shutting down the government help minimize all that money the IRS extracts from so many Americans via taxes?

the IRS is not part of the government - it is a private corporation run by the IMF-Federal Reserve-people. They extract money from americans and take it out of america to do their devilish deeds.

Which makes matters even worse.

absa- fuckin-lutely!
