      @@PewPew702 that is an extremely oversimplified explanation of monetary policy. Money is no longer going to be printed because it is all just digital numbers on a screen that is not backed by anything at all. To "print" money is to simply make people believe that you control their medium of exchange through fiat currency instead of real property. Private businesses take care of public resources... The government is not required to do that. Private contractors do ALL the bidding for government development projects. That should tell you a lot.

      @@thecorporatecritic my answer is literally the first answer that comes up when googling the question. Where do you think the money comes from to pay the companies who build a hospital, a road, police station, all of our military, welfare services, or basically every public service job that we don’t directly pay for. It’s simplified bc there’s no need to be more detailed when someone simply asks “what are taxes used for?”

      Credits always cancel out debits "debt" on any t table lol 🤷🏾‍♀️ why do we even have separate cards? One for credit and one for debits?? We never question these small nuances but they hold billions of dollars worth of weight. It's called double book entry and the government uses it in conjunction with GAAP and UCC provisions to trick us all into thinking debt is freely accessible but credit isn't. Greatest money grab of all time and we all slave ourselves to create the perfect cash cow for them to do it... We are CONSUMERS and we create debt to pay, while they're using it as a product to buy and sell. HA!! What a devilish thing to do

    Georgia has a 365 day redempion period for tax liens. Which means the delinquent owner has up to 365 day to redeem their property once it's sold at a Tax Lien Auction. Additionally, if they do redeem the property, they will have to pay the buyer the amount that the property was auctioned off for, plus 20%. So, the winner of the auction has no legal claim to the property until the 366th day, that's when they can legally begin the foreclosure process. Just FYI😁

      @@galvaillinois yes there is a nuance you are missing. I am Reese in the video by the way. Let's say you have a table I am interested in, and I have a painting you are interested in. You say, well I'll give you my table if you'll give me your painting... We agree they are worth the same amount of value and we exchange them as real property... It could be said that both of us gained something of value because the table was of no value to you, but you knew you could leverage it as value to me. I wanted it more than I wanted my painting. You wanted my painting more than you wanted the table. In essence this is why tax makes no sense when even exchanges of value are taking place. Yes, I may now upsell and tell another person to exchange my new painting for a car... And continue to increase my value through even exchanges but it's not until currency is turned into FIAT instead of real property when taxes and third parties are now introduced to regulate and expand the real gains coming from pure INTEREST. Under the revenue code, the ONLY thing considered to be income is proceeds arising from INTEREST. Nothing else is legally called an income 🙏🏾 I hope I didn't lose you

      @Spirit of Business with Reese Roberts was explaining how income taxes and taxes on transactions where equal exchange takes place in the transaction is fraudulent, because *corporations* are supposed to pay taxes on profit made. Profit or income is the difference between cost and added value/markup for services or products. When you sell your labor for an agreed up upon rate, then the exchange is equal and you don't make a profit on your labor. You simply exchange it for "equal value" so the government does not legally have the right to tax. She clearly said she is not paying taxes to nobody for nothing.
