EXPOSÉ: “You Own Nothing Because That’s the Point – How Global Finance and Government Engineered Your Serfdom”

“Freedom is never more than one missed payment away from forfeiture.” Let’s stop pretending. You don’t own your house. You don’t own your car. You don’t even own your time. Everything you think is yours exists on a leash — and the people holding the leash wear suits, sit in boardrooms, and pass laws in buildings with marble columns. This isn’t incompetence. This is architecture. The system has been reverse-engineered to extract value from your labor and feed it up the pyramid to the ruling class. It’s done through debt, inflation, regulation, and the most efficient theft mechanism ever devised: taxation without any real representation. Let’s break it down. This isn’t theory. This is fact — and we’ve got the list to prove it. I. The Homeownership Hoax They sold us the "American Dream," but handed us a 30-year debt sentence. Miss a mortgage payment? You’re homeless. Skip a property tax? The state auctions off your land to the nearest hedge fund. The truth? You’re renting from the bank and the government — simultaneously. In 2023, institutional investors bought 44% of available single-family homes in some U.S. cities. Foreclosures jumped 174% in two years. Who wins? The same financial interests that caused 2008 — only now they own your house. II. Your Car: Leased Liberty You think you own your car? Try driving it without this checklist of extortion: Vehicle License Registration Tax Property Tax on Vehicles (state-dependent) Gasoline Tax Emissions Inspection Fees Tire Tax Sales Tax (on purchase) Toll Booth Taxes Traffic Fines (indirect tax) Road Usage Taxes (Truckers) Trailer Registration Tax You “own” your vehicle like a prisoner “owns” his shackles. III. The 55 Chains of Taxation You work, they take. You buy, they take. You die — they still take. Here are 55 ways they legally loot you: Federal Income Tax State Income Tax Local Income Tax Social Security Tax Medicare Tax Payroll Tax Capital Gains Tax Inheritance (Death) Tax Property Tax Real Estate Tax Sales Tax Luxury Tax Gasoline Tax Vehicle Sales Tax Vehicle License Registration Tax Toll Booth Tax Toll Bridge Tax Toll Tunnel Tax Road Usage Tax (Truckers) Building Permit Tax CDL License Tax Fishing License Tax Hunting License Tax Marriage License Tax Dog License Tax Food License Tax Liquor Tax Cigarette Tax Utility Tax Watercraft Registration Tax Well Permit Tax Septic Permit Tax School Tax Court Fines (indirect tax) IRS Penalties (tax on a tax) Workers Compensation Tax Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA) State Unemployment Tax (SUTA) Recreational Vehicle Tax Phone Taxes Gift Tax CDL Permit Fees Emissions Testing Fees Firearm Permit Fees Safety Inspection Fees Business License Tax Tourism/Hotel Taxes Airline Ticket Taxes Customs Duties Import/Export Taxes Parking Permit Fees Seizure of Unclaimed Property Electronic Waste Fees Internet/Streaming Service Fees (new frontier) Digital Transaction Fees (CBDC warm-ups) And we haven’t even gotten to inflation, which is taxation by dilution — the silent theft of your purchasing power. IV. Your Bank Account is a Bullseye You think your money is safe in the bank? Think again. Banks lend out your deposits at interest and give you fractions of a percent back. Your purchasing power is eroded every year by inflation — a hidden tax no one voted for. In an emergency, thanks to the Dodd-Frank Act, your deposits could be "bailed-in" to rescue the banks. And now, central banks are rolling out CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies), programmable money that can expire, freeze, or redirect based on your behavior. Control the money — control the man. V. The Debt Death Spiral Student loans. Credit card debt. Medical bills. The average American carries over $60,000 in personal debt. The borrower is servant to the lender, and we’ve all been handed digital shackles. Student Loan Debt $1.77 trillion Credit Card Debt $1.13 trillion Medical Debt $195 billion We’ve replaced freedom with financing — and liberty with late fees. VI. Civil Asset Forfeiture & Border Confiscations Welcome to the new form of policing: pre-crime looting. No trial. No conviction. Still lose your car, cash, laptop — or your home. Border agents routinely seize electronics. Good luck getting them back. This isn’t law enforcement. It’s legal plunder. VII. What They’re Not Telling You About “Equity” The lie they tell is that taxes and redistribution are moral — that it’s about equity, fairness, and “investing in the future.” But who’s the future for? Not your children. They’re inheriting a $36 trillion national debt — a generational theft so large it ensures they will be indentured before they’re born. VIII. The Digital Cage Is Almost Finished Surveillance capitalism and financial authoritarianism are merging. CBDCs will track every transaction. Social credit systems will gate access to resources. Programmable money will expire if you don’t spend it “the right way.” This is not a warning. This is already in pilot programs around the world. The only thing left? Crisis and rollout. IX. The Wake-Up Call Still think you’re free? “When you’re taxed for working, taxed for eating, taxed for owning, and taxed for dying — that’s not freedom. That’s feudalism with a tech upgrade.” If you’re wondering what this looks like, it looks exactly like this: Visual Manifesto: "Financial Enslavement in the Digital Age" A suburban family behind invisible bars made of tax forms, QR codes, and debt contracts. Surveillance drones hover. Faceless bankers on floating thrones pull strings attached to the people below. In the sky: flashing signs read “YOU WILL OWN NOTHING” and “PAY YOUR SHARE.” Final Word: Opt Out or Be Owned There’s no reform coming. No savior from within the machine. The only solution is decentralization: Buy land, not permission slips. Store real assets — gold, silver, Bitcoin (outside exchanges). Build local. Think sovereign. Refuse the leash. You own nothing because they planned it that way. The question now is simple: Will you reclaim your freedom — or keep making payments on your own slavery?
