There are those who believe there is no culture of pillage, just as they believe there is no war on high income earners (or their rights to their own fruits of their labor). If you believe there is no culture of pillage, I would like to discuss that with you.
No youtube video here, instead, I'll speak for myself, my experience.
Every paycheck I get, before I get it, the government has pillaged (confiscated) part of my earnings from it. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare all pillaged from the fruit of my labor before I ever see it. In fact, the single largest expense I have in life is federal income tax. I spend more in federal income tax than I spend on my mortgage. Oh wait, did I say "spend" when referring to federal income tax? I don't "spend" that, it's confiscated from me before I ever see it. Then there are the thieves of my income, the thieves of the fruits of my labor, that say I'm not paying my fair share.
It's not sexual rape, it is the rape of my labor, the rape of my income, the rape of my wherewithal to provide for myself and my family.
And it is a rape just as vile and violating as a sexual rape. The difference being that sexual rapists can and do get caught and thrown in prison whilst the people voting for my rape are walking the streets.
