Take a wild leaping guess into the shadows about why no one ever showed you this before. Tariffs paid for 94.9% of the federal government in 1860 and still 44% in 1913. By 1920, after the income tax arrived, that was down to 4.8%. Today income taxes bring in about 60% of federal revenue, and tariffs were 3.7% in fiscal 2025, up from 1.6% the year before.

To be clear: Once this shift is over, you will not paying income taxes to the State; 1. There was never any real need for you to be doing that 2. The size of the federal government is being reduced 3. The massive, mind-boggling levels of fraud/theft/money laundering that was going on is being reduced by the week. The Trump administration may very well have shut off around $1 trillion of theft/fraud in just the past 17 months. More fraud gets detected and shut down every day. 4. Most of what you have programmed to view as 'the national debt' was not debt incurred by the citizens of the nation, but rather the massive fraud expenses of a Transnational Crime Syndicate franchise here in the United States disguised as a federal government. 5. You've been programmed to believe in a 'sliding scale' of taxation on the fruits of American labor as the 'incompetent State' frantically tries to keep the lights on the bills paid to avoid default on loans and being overcome by its very necessary debts. That was and always has been a carefully maintained illusion being presented to you by mobsters. You do not owe your own money that was stolen from you by a crime syndicate that defrauded you after it took your money from by force. 6. The US federal government could have **always** been paying its operational expenses via trade deals and tariffs. The reason it hasn't been doing that for over 100 years is that we became the captured nation of a Transnational Crime Syndicate, which established a local 'franchise' in Washington DC. 7. Once this shift is finished, and the US federal government is completely supporting its annual operational expenses from trade/tariffs, and manufacturing/utilization of national resources, the 'need' for the US federal government to 'support itself' by extracting well over $2 trillion/year from it's citizens via income taxation is gone. 8. But the shift won't stop with merely the cessation of the State coercing you into handing over 3-6 months-worth of the fruits of your labors. Its not just that the unnecessary taxation will stop. Its going to be reversed. A Criminal State spent over 100 years robbing you, your parents, your grandparents. You can be compensated for that. And you will be. 9. A very real outworking of a civilizational shift from Debt Slave to Citizens Shareholder is that instead of a Criminal State lording it over Debt Slaves, we will have got a Stewardship State that is sharing the profits generated by the national resources and the national manufacturing activities with the citizens driving the profits. 10. The biggest civilizational shift will be how the Citizen Shareholder of the future starts life after this Great Transition is over. Children of this current time will start out with a bank account literally funded for them, waiting for them. They will not be starting from zero and then laboriously attempting to build wealth from that zero while the Criminal State is leeching 1/3rd or more of their efforts and taking it. Wealth building will start at birth, and accrue without the State jumping in there to steal any of it. In fact, thanks to people like Elon Musk and Donald Trump and Scott Bessent, value will be ADDED to the accounts as the child grows into adulthood. This is going to have all kinds of impacts on how the society orders and structures itself. 11. You have spent all your lives in a system of rampant, illegal and excessive taxation by a criminal state where you struggled to make ends meet as you labored all of your life, working hard, watching up to 1/3rd or more of your labor's results taken from you, while you tried to maintain a home, raise children, give them the best start when they launched out on their own. You were seriously being handicapped by your own criminal government...and it is the only life you have ever known. That old life...is ending. Your children will never experience it. 12. The life of a Citizen Shareholder will look nothing like the life of the Globalist Debt Slave. I hope you can see that at this point. Instead of taxes taken away by a Shadow Government Franchise, while you tread water and try to keep from drowning, dividends sent into bank accounts owned by all citizens put all those citizens on an equal footing in an equal relationship with The Stewardship State. Citizens can still be dirt poor...but they'll have to really WORK at it. You've grown up working hard like a mofo to make it on your own while the Crime State robbed you blind and found a thousand different ways to hem you in and set up barriers all around you. And your kids. It's different in the New American Golden Age where by the time a citizen turns 18, and their parents launch them, instead of starting with whatever the parents scraped and fought to save up over the years, there's an account sitting there with a couple hundred thousand dollars in it. 13. And the couple hundred thousand dollars waiting in the account won't be in the same fiat/inflationary/debt currency that's been foisted on our country for over the last century. That money will not be subject to inflationary devaluing as billions or trillions more dollars are printed by fiat. It will not matter who gets their hands on it first, and what they spend it on. The value of that 'Golden Age Dollar' only goes up or down based on the value of the **assets backing it**. Not based on how hard or fast someone is running a digital printing press somewhere. 14. The 'rat race' lifestyle where people work a job for up to 40 hours a week - a job they often hate - just to survive, pay their bills, including their income tax burden...is going to disappear. To buy a house, to pay for the kids college, to help the kids launch on adulthood, to support themselves, under the Debt Slave system this required a significant amount of your efforts and your time. Elon has already tried to explain this several times, how this old system is going away, but people just mock him and say he's saying crazy stuff. But its true. That old Debt Slave system is going away. And once its gone, it won't be coming back. 15. The Transition Generation will have experienced life under both The Old Debt Slave Model being deceptively run on them by a U.S. Shadow Government franchise of a Transnational Crime Syndicate, and the New American Golden Age Model being transparently and openly and honestly run with them by a U.S. Sovereign Nationalist Government. No one will have to 'explain' to that transitional generation which model is better for them and their children. Just a few years of living under the New, and a return to the Old shall be impossible. 16. Those who have vested interests in continuing The Old Debt Slave Model - and there are many! - have been fighting the launch of The New American Golden Age Model with everything that is in them. They profit vastly from the old model, and are determined to maintain it, defend it, expand it. As the civilizational shift accelerates, the Old Model geopolitical structures will crack, fracture, and collapse. Propaganda outlets will collapse under the weight of their own propagandistic absurdities as they frantically try to slow down or turn back a public of citizens eagerly and enthusiastically embracing the New American Golden Age. 17. Go vote in these midterm elections. Take 10 people with you. Don't listen to assholes trying to suppress your vote so they can maintain control of the Senate and keep Trump from having control of it instead.
