WE TAX HIS PAY, TAX HIS PLAY, EVEN TAX HIS TIME OF DAY

📜 “Taxed to Death: The Hidden Cost of Compliance”

By Devon T. White | Thawilsonblock Magazine Exclusive

WE TAX HIS PAY, TAX HIS PLAY, EVEN TAX HIS TIME OF DAY…

This isn’t just a clever rhyme—it’s a brutal truth wrapped in poetic protest. It reflects a reality that many of us live with daily but rarely stop to examine: we are taxed for simply existing.

From the moment we rise to the moment we rest, there is an invisible hand reaching into our pockets. Not once. Not twice. But constantly.

1. Your job? Taxed.
2. Your home? Taxed.
3. Your food, water, energy, clothing, medicine, rest, movement, and even your death? Taxed.

And it doesn’t stop there.

The Great Extraction Scheme

“With taxes on taxes, we steal his wealth.”

What we are witnessing is not just taxation. It’s extraction—a system that feeds off the working class while shielding the elite from the burdens of contribution.

Think about it. The average worker:

1. Pays federal tax
2. Pays state tax
3. Pays city or local tax
4. Pays sales tax
5. Pays gas tax
6. Pays property tax
7. Pays inheritance tax
8. Pays tax on investments and bank interest
9. And is taxed again through inflation and debt manipulation.

It’s not just double-dipping. It’s systemic siphoning.

The Legal Hustle: Taxation as Debt Control

Let’s take it deeper. The modern tax system isn’t just about funding roads or schools (as they’d have you believe). It’s about controlling human energy through debt.

Every dollar you earn is taxed before you can truly own it. Then that same dollar is taxed again every time it’s used. In legal terms, that’s the conversion of labor into debt instruments. Your labor becomes a “taxable event”—a trigger for government revenue. You are essentially renting your freedom with every paycheck.

Meanwhile, the politicians?

1. They never reduce government.
2. They never cut their own bloated salaries.
3. They never downsize departments or eliminate programs that waste billions.

But when a crisis hits—one they usually helped create—the solution is always the same: raise taxes. Again.

⚠️ 

What Happens When You Die?

“Then we’ll place upon his tomb: ‘Taxes drove me to my doom.’”

Even in death, you don’t escape the grip. Your children don’t get your full legacy. The government steps in first with an inheritance tax, essentially taxing your life twice—once when you earn it, and again when you try to pass it on.

This is generational theft.

This is financial warfare.

This is modern-day feudalism wrapped in paperwork and policy.

Mind Control by Money

“We tax him good… so he can’t think!”

The deepest cut of all isn’t the financial burden—it’s the mental oppression. When you’re constantly worried about making ends meet, you don’t have the space to think critically or organize for justice.

And that’s exactly how the system wants it.

Time to Wake Up and Push Back

Stop letting these people get over on you.

You don’t owe blind obedience to a system that thrives on keeping you broke, distracted, and disempowered.

You owe it to yourself, your family, and your community to demand answers.

Start asking:

1. Why do our taxes increase, but our streets still have potholes?
2. Why is healthcare taxed when it’s a basic human need?
3. Why are billionaires getting tax breaks while teachers buy school supplies with their own money?
4. Why is inherited wealth taxed for working families, but sheltered for the rich?

Conclusion: Reclaim Your Energy

It’s time to pull back the veil. Taxation without transparency is economic slavery, and the chains are hidden in pay stubs, receipts, and IRS letters.

It’s not just about dollars.

It’s about control.

It’s about your life.

And it’s time to take it back.
