It has become apparent that the entire American government operates on graft.   Graft is so prevalent in our political system that citizens have accepted it as the way of doing business.   

You can determine virtually every individual's reaction to government policy on the basis of that individual being a recipient of government funding or not.   Yes, those Americans who are funded by the government have become Principle Prostitutes.   They no longer follow their hearts, only their bank accounts.   

Accordingly, those individuals vote for their benefactors.   Those whom they vote for use their political offices, connections and powers to become super wealthy.   This is graft.   

Taxation along with control of the money supply enables the government to buy voting favors from the public.   Yes, they use our own money to buy us.   

The power to tax is the power to enslave.    - Randy Lucas

The above is a slight rewording of Justice John Marshall's quote: "The power to tax is the power to destroy."

Because of freedom being the foundation of America and its being the gift of God through Christ Jesus, it's loss is greater than the destruction of any physical structures or the systems that make up America.   

Through taxation and control of the money supply the federal government has the resources to effectively purchase support from its citizens to enslave them to its totalitarian plan.   

Americans have by and large become Principle Prostitutes as more and more federal employees have been hired, more benefits (checks, housing, EBT, healthcare) have been provided, more grants given and more contracts awarded.   

Who will 'bite the hand that feeds it'?   Only those few who understand that the same person who feeds and waters its livestock is the same person who will eventually slaughter it.   

And so, we find ourselves in a conundrum.   Though few people can honestly say they believe that the direction we are heading is a good one, the majority is reluctant to change course because they do not want to sacrifice their present ease and comfort.   

And so, they submit themselves to being participants in the massive system of graft.
