I was terrified of doing anything except depositing and holding money

because I had nfi how any of this worked

get enough people in a single area and the mistakes compound, and it seems democracy is the system it uses to give those idiots power over the government

I have an IQ greater than 140, and I have trouble understanding my tax returns

Service guarantees citizenship

I have spent the last two years working on personal finance modeling software

and I still don't really understand my personal finances

it is _hard_

I'd imagine that's because tax law is intentionally obtuse

and that is why people make bad decisions

because if they make any decision at all, it is an accomplishment

it's MADE to be hard, thus making an entire field of tax accountants

It's really not that hard

Well, some of that is true to be sure

but most of that is obscurant

And giving large corporations with legal teams a leg up

@UwuesVult is right

in _reality_ it is not that hard

you can do the right thing financially

it is not unlawful

it doesn't involve any weird regulatory problems

So, then, how much do we restrict the franchise in order to ensure proper governance?

You just have to pay respect to what money actually is, ignore fiat stupidity and disregard usury

who would hire tax accountants if the field were transparent, honest, non changing and easy to grasp? same thing as medical billing

Do we go back to landowning male citizens? More restrictive, less?

but it is obscured by millions of people whose job it is to show you all sorts of techniques and approaches which will make you _poor_

Nationalism > globalism

@Bookworm persons with living children

Meritocratic franchise? I don't trust the current system to set up proper requriements.

@Bookworm persons with living children who they have not disowned get the franchise

We'd need a traditionalist, conservative military coup.

It's technically not merit

it's about having skin in the game

I don't think you'd need a coup either, but probably some form of bureaucratic collapse

the franchise must be the voice of people who care about a future beyond their own life

Hey guys just got back from shooting Merkel. The military is caving in on new jurisdiction being made by the CDU and the AfD are set to take over after the coup.

just glad we still have a republic in the US

hmm
