Taxation is theft, GoFundMe is a bandaid & we need revolutionary changes
Meanwhile, you can directly help a child in need RIGHT NOW
The U.S. national average salary in 2022 was $60,575. The average single worker faced a net average tax rate of 24.8 percent.
Meanwhile, if someone gets sick or their home burns down, they are typically left with no choice but to beg for aid via sites like GoFundMe.
Fortunately, generous souls will often help. I’ve learned this firsthand through my projects — and social media is filled with other examples of such “positive news.”
Don’t get me wrong, I get weepy when reading these stories. But it doesn’t change the fact that we mostly aim our energy at praising individual acts of charity but rarely (if ever) point out structural and institutional criminality that creates non-stop crises in the first place.
Projects like mine, for example, should not be necessary in a nation as affluent as the U.S. But, in the Home of the Brave™, such a mission is required.
Our [sic] government — and the banks and corporations who own it — is an utter failure for everyone below the top 1 or 2 percent.
Most folks will passionately defend “our way of life” when, in reality, “our way of life” is a blatant scam that deserves to be permanently burnt to the ground.
A few steps everyone can take right now to start winning this spiritual war:
Tear off the blinders and accept that The Land of the Free™ is a lie — a Ponzi scheme that thrives due to our deluded, masochistic support.
Stop cheerleading for the extortionist parasites sucking you dry.
Don’t get trapped in false conflicts designed to prevent you from finding common ground with potential allies. Stop choosing "sides" when the conflicts are manipulated fakery.
While you manifest such essential personal changes, dedicate yourself to helping others — even if that currently means methods like GoFundMe (see below for an example).
Be part of the solution by doing whatever you can to expose and dismantle all diabolical deceptions.
Reconnect with a higher collective consciousness.
Acknowledge that you are fearfully and wonderfully made — and behave accordingly.
HERE’S AN IMMEDIATE ACTION YOU CAN TAKE:
Search Amazon holiday wishlists right here.
Families who are struggling are asking for random acts of kindness. They seek strangers to become secret angels by ordering from the list and then, the gift is shipped directly to the person in need.
For example, yesterday, I sent a Christmas present to an anonymous 6-year-old girl in Tennessee via this particular list. She’ll never know who bought it but what matters is that we are role models of giving for the next generations.
The entire process takes less than 10 minutes. Here are three more wishlists to consider:
If possible, be a blessing this year and bring a smile to a child’s face on Christmas morning. You can do it right now!

Well said. Imperfect means, and modest outcomes and resources, are what we've got at the moment. That's still sometimes enough to work small miracles.
This is very well said and so true. Although genorousity begins in the heart why aren't funerals and medical supplies paid for? Regarding giving children Christmas gifts there is nothing better. This year I have to give that to my own children by God willing being in their company. I used to do secret Santa type gifts for Detroit area families facing hardship. I commend you for carrying it on...
