Happy Labor Day! According To The Government, Your Labor Is Worth $0.

Liberty breaks for nothing, even Federal Holidays that are supposed to honor the "labor" of the working man.  Of course, if the government really cared about honoring the working man, it would value the labor of that man at more than $0.  Yes, that's right, the government values the labor of individuals at $0.Since income is not even clearly defined in the Internal Revenue Code or the Income Tax Act, we have to look at how the tax is applied  to understand what "income" actually means.  When  corporations pay income tax, they are are paying taxes not on actual income aka revenue, but only on the gain derived from that income, known as profit. This is why major corporations can have millions of dollars of incoming money, yet pay no income tax whatsoever.   None of the money a corporation spends on resources, workers, real estate, etc. in order to create their final product are taxed, merely what is left over.  So for corporations, the income tax is really a profits tax.The same cannot be said for the unfortunate individual however.  Individuals pay taxes on all of the money they earn, with very few exceptions for certain items that can be considered "business expenses".  If an individual works all day and makes $100, he is taxed on that entire $100.  What this says is that the government considers that entire $100 to be profit, which means they are effectively valuing the labor that went into creating that profit at $0.Not only that, but the government doesn't value any of the expenses necessary to perform that labor.  Can  you get to work without a mode of transport, be it a car or public transport or even a bike? Well you can't deduct that.  What if you walk to work? Well you can't deduct the shoes you would need. Or the clothes I presume most of you are required to wear at a job.  What if your job requires a higher level of education? You can't deduct the expenses involved in paying for college, medical school, law school, etc.  And I'm guessing you probably need to eat food in order to have the energy required to perform at your job. And yet the government places no value on this whatsoever when it comes to calculating your taxes.So remember, when you return to your regularly scheduled labor tomorrow, don't work too hard.  After all, your work, your time, your effort - they are worth nothing!Just a friendly reminder from your friends at Lions Of Liberty![amazon_enhanced asin="B007PRHC4I" /]Receive access to ALL of our EXCLUSIVE bonus audio content – including “Conspiracy Corner”, “Degenerate Gamblers” and the “League of Liberty Podcast” by joining the Lions of Liberty Pride and supporting us on Patreon!
