The old money is sacred.
The old money moves through time like a ghost, untouchable. There are estates, there are offshore accounts, there are legal structures so Byzantine you’d need a goddamn priest to exorcise them. Old money is protected. But the guy who starts a bar, the woman who runs a bakery, the guy who builds a tech company from his garage—those people are the ones being punished.
And why?
Because new money is dangerous. New money means change. New money, Bitcoin before BTC neutered it means someone is rewriting the rules, shaking up the old order, creating something that didn’t exist before. The system doesn’t want that. The system wants stability—meaning it wants the rich to stay rich, and the rest of us to stay right where we are.
Think about it. You hire someone, you pay tax. You make money, you pay tax. You pay your employees, you pay tax. You reinvest in your business, you pay tax. It’s a system designed not to reward work, but to reward those who already have money. It’s a closed loop, and if you’re not born inside of it, you’re never getting in.
And then there’s the control. Because it’s not just about taking your money. It’s about making sure they know everything about you. You can’t just pay a flat amount and go about your life. No, you’ve got to report. You’ve got to list your earnings, your losses, your deductions, your spending. You’ve got to explain why you think you deserve to keep more of what you earned, like a child asking for permission.
It’s an invasion.
A creeping, insidious form of submission. And if you make a mistake? If you forget a form, if you miscalculate, if you try to keep a little too much? Well, then you’re a criminal. Then they get to hit you with fines, audits, threats.
And if you don’t pay?
They take your business. They take your home.
They throw you in a cage.
The billionaires don’t have to deal with that. They’ve got teams of lawyers. They’ve got entire battalions of accountants working night and day to make sure they don’t have to pay a damn thing. If the IRS shows up, they make a phone call, and it goes away. But you? You’re alone. And they know it.
The irony of it all is that there’s a better way. You could tax transactions, you could tax consumption, you could take the same tiny percentage from every movement of money, from every person, without exemptions, without loopholes. But they don’t want that. Because this was never about revenue. This was never about fairness. This was never about funding the public good.
