Ideas

It has past a bit of time since i have published something here on the blog. For those few who are taking the time to read my ideas here is another point of viewing today's society. I have tried to write a iReport on CNN's Freedom Project with little success, due to my lack of patience and my chaotic exposure of thoughts. We, those who live in a modern democratic state, pretend to be free, but are we truly? We are living today, and don't get me wrong, obeying the rules of the states. So far so good, right? We are working, we get money for our work and with those money we pay for our survival and comfort. It is like a circle in witch the money seem to be the tool that determines how much power does an individual or a system have. So in order to control someone all you have to do is to control the amount of money they have. In this idea, under the "we are working to protect the country and it's citizens", most of the states are controlling effective it's inhabitants. The states are taking nowadays around 30-40% of what an individual produces. To me this is worst than in the medieval ages where, as an example in Romanian countries between XIV-XV centuries, oppressed peasants owed feudal lords (or landlord) rents in products (tithe-the tenth part of their production), work and money. Today's rent consists of taxes which we are forced to pay by law. Sounds like a modern day slavery in which we are all slaves of those that are making millions each day.
