Government Theft

 

     The U.S. government collects over $1.2 trillion annually in net payroll taxes for Social Security (OASDI), with total income to the trust funds (including interest and taxation of benefits) reaching $1.351 trillion in 2023.

     These taxes are primarily funded by a 12.4% tax rate (6.2% each for employer and employee) on wages up to $176,100 in 2025.

     Details regarding Social Security tax collection:

    Total Revenue: In 2023, net payroll tax contributions amounted to $1.233 trillion, with an additional $51 billion from taxation of benefits and $67 billion in interest.

• Tax Rates: The total rate is 12.4% (6.2% for employees and 6.2% for employers). Self-employed individuals pay the full 12.4%.
• Taxable Maximum: The maximum amount of earnings subject to the Social Security tax is $176,100 for 2025. This increases to $184,500 in 2026.
• Budget Share: Payroll taxes for Social Security and other social insurance programs account for roughly 35% of total federal revenue.
• Allocation: About 85 cents of every dollar collected goes to the OASI Trust Fund for retired workers, while 15 cents goes to the DI Trust Fund for disabled beneficiaries.

    President "Ronald Reagan" signed major Social Security reforms in 1983 that started taxing up to 50% of benefits for higher-income recipients to shore up the system, a key change based on Greenspan Commission recommendations.

    But the idea of borrowing from the fund started earlier, with Lyndon B. Johnson reportedly first borrowing for Vietnam War costs, and all presidents since have used the Trust Fund's surpluses as government IOUs.

    Major expenditure categories are defense, healthcare, and Social Security; income and payroll taxes are the primary revenue sources.

    Beyond individual income tax, the U.S. government collects significant revenue through payroll taxes (Social Security/Medicare), corporate income taxes, and excise taxes on goods like gasoline and alcohol. Other sources include estate taxes, customs duties on imports, and fees for services like national park entry or federal agency licenses. 

    Individual income tax is the largest source of revenue for the U.S. government, consistently generating nearly half of all federal tax receipts. In FY 2024, this tax accounted for approximately $2.66 trillion, or over 50% of total revenue. Payroll taxes (for Social Security/Medicare) are the second-largest source.

    The largest corporate fine in history was a $20.8 billion settlement paid by BP for the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, though total payouts exceeded $65 billion.

    For individuals, the record is a $200 million fine for Michael Milken in 1990. Federal courts can impose multi-billion dollar penalties for major corporate criminal violations, such as fraud, which often dwarf statutory maximums.

    Pharmaceutical Sector: GlaxoSmithKline received a U$3 billion (£1.9 billion) penalty in 2012 for healthcare fraud, per Guinness World Records.

• Individual Fines: Michael Milken's $200 million fine (1990) remains a record for an individual, according to Guinness World Records.
• Legal Limits: While statutory maximums for felonies are often $250,000–$500,000, in practice, courts accept settlements that can be thousands of times higher, particularly in cases involving environmental, financial, or healthcare fraud.
• Excessive Fines: The Supreme Court has ruled that fines cannot be grossly disproportional to the offense, as seen in United States v. Bajakajian.

    The U.S. federal government collects revenue primarily through taxes to fund public services, with spending divided into mandatory programs (Social Security, Medicare) and discretionary spending (defense, infrastructure, education). 

    In FY2024, the government spent roughly $6.9 trillion, largely on health insurance, defense, and debt interest, often operating with a deficit that requires borrowing.

    The U.S. government provides roughly $75 billion annually in foreign assistance to over 150 countries, which accounts for about 1% of total federal spending. In fiscal year 2023, this amounted to $71.9 billion, with top recipients including Ukraine, Israel, Ethiopia, and Afghanistan, primarily focusing on security and humanitarian aid. 

    In 2024, the U.S. federal government spent roughly $20,100 per person in total spending. However, this figure covers all federal operations, not direct cash payments. 

    Direct aid varies significantly based on eligibility, with major, consistent, and direct payments to citizens primarily including:

   NOW LETS TAKE the $75 billion foreigen assistance to those WHO HAVE NOT helped us and divid that by 349 million people in America would results in approximately $214.90 per person.

   The U.S. government has provided over $3.8 trillion in foreign aid (inflation-adjusted) since the end of World War II.

    LETS divid  this amount by the population as of 2025 which is 349 million people. By dividing $3.8 trillion by 349 million people results in approximately $10,888.25 per person.

    Looking at United States Homeless record, According to the HUD 2024 Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR), over 771,400 people were experiencing homelessness on a single night in January 2024, marking a record high. 

    This represents an 18% increase from 2023. Roughly 40% of this population was unsheltered, while 60% were in sheltered locations.

    Between 2014 and 2021, over 7,900 homes were taken by local governments through tax foreclosure, often for debts worth only a small fraction of the home's value. 

    Separately, federal agencies have demolished over 285,000 public housing units since 1992. Additionally, the federal government manages 640 million acres of land and thousands of underutilized buildings.

    YET, this government, Unites States Government, DID NOT, purchase the home nor provided you with the home, and YET,  has the legal right to remove it from you.

    This government, United States Government, has and always has been the LARGEST BULLY this country has had. It has Bullied and Incarcerated more United States citizens than any one School Bully has.  

    Historically, the Teapot Dome scandal of the 1920s is often cited as the "high water mark" of U.S. cabinet-level corruption show the puplic that corruption does exist in the government system. YET, those same public have blinders on and are falling to stop such corruption action at all levels. 

    Other major examples include the Watergate scandal, where an Attorney General was imprisoned, and the Abscam sting, which convicted seven members of Congress. YET the public still believes in everything the says.

    WHAT RIGHT does a person have to Force Remove or Force Compliance  upon another individual just because they say, Government?  That is call "CONTROLING" you!    

• Cabinet-Level Corruption: The Teapot Dome scandal involved the secret leasing of federal oil reserves by the Secretary of the Interior, setting a benchmark for cabinet corruption.
• Executive & Congressional Scandals: The Watergate scandal in the 1970s led to the imprisonment of Attorney General John N. Mitchell. The Abscam operation in the 1970s/80s resulted in convictions of seven members of Congress for bribery.
• Systemic Corruption Types: Major forms include bribery, extortion, cronyism, and the abuse of power for private gain, such as the Oklahoma county commissioners scandal.
• Kleptocracy: This describes a form of high-level corruption where leaders (kleptocrats) use political power to seize the wealth of the nation they govern.

    YET, THE PUBLIC STILL LISTENS TO THEIR LIES with a score of 64 out of 100, indicating increased perceived public sector corruption.

    37% of the U.S. dollar is taxes with 20% as burden. That is, 37 cents on a dollar ($1.00 - $0.37 = $0.63 ) or ($50.00 - $18.50 = $31.50 ) in you packet. This government "ACTS LIKE" it's doing us a favor, but it's not. It's damaging us & controlling us. And when they can not do that, they incarcerate us!
