The aggressor against the persons and property of the mass of the public
All states, everywhere
Whether democratic, dictatorial or monarchical
Whether red, white, blue or brown
The State
For centuries, the State has robbed people at bayonet point
and called it taxation
For centuries, the State has enslaved people into its armed battalions
and called it conscription
The State
The State
For centuries, the State has robbed people at bayonet point
and called it taxation
Coercion and violence by the direct threat of confiscation or imprisonment
This is taxation
The State
For centuries, the State has robbed people at bayonet point and called it taxation
For centuries, the State has enslaved people into its armed battalions and called it conscription
The State
The State
The State, the government, the supreme, the eternal The aggressor against the persons and property of the mass of the public All states, everywhere Whether democratic, dictatorial or monarchical Whether red, white, blue or brown The State For centuries, the State has robbed people at bayonet point and called it taxation For centuries, the State has enslaved people into its armed battalions and called it conscription The State The State For centuries, the State has robbed people at bayonet point and called it taxation Coercion and violence by the direct threat of confiscation or imprisonment This is taxation The State For centuries, the State has robbed people at bayonet point and called it taxation For centuries, the State has enslaved people into its armed battalions and called it conscription The State The State Explain Request ×
