Slave to the State
The time to choose is now
You are a slave. Your children are slaves. And you probably don't even know it. Slavery in twenty-first century America is nearly universal. Nearly every person who believes he is a citizen of the United States of America is, in fact, a slave.
In nineteenth and eighteenth century America the law required slave owners to provide basic necessities, such as food, shelter, clothing, medicine, and retirement care--in general they were to look out for the welfare of their slaves.1 Slaves, in their turn, were required to give the lion's portion of their labor (not 100% as is commonly believed) to their masters. If a slave refused to work for his master he was beaten, humiliated, sold, or sometimes even executed. This is typical of most owner/property relationships. I provide gasoline, oil, and regular maintenance to my car; it provides me with transportation. I provide my pets with food, shelter, medical care, and security; they provide me with companionship and entertainment. If my car refuses to move, I will sell it for scrap. If my pet bites or attacks people without provocation, I will have it killed. I own these things.
In these respects, twenty-first century slavery is little different. Your master promises you medical care, shelter, comfortable retirement, and other necessities, while you provide him with the lion's share of your labor. If you refuse to cooperate, you will be punished with harsher labor, a less comfortable dwelling, fewer privileges, the alienation of your spouse, the sale of your children, imprisonment, torture, or even death.
Don't believe me?
Try not paying your taxes. I think you'll see what I mean.
Depending on where you live you pay between 30% and 40% of your income directly in taxes2, whether through wage, sales, and property taxes, or license fees, etc. You likely pay an additional 10% to 20% of your income indirectly through higher costs of doing business, a product of over-regulation and bureaucratic incompetence3. If you spend a significant amount of money on medical care, then I guarantee that you are spending far more than that to support the federal slave state.
In exchange for 40% to 60% of your income, your benevolent government promises to take care of your medical expenses and your retirement, to ensure you have adequate housing, food, education, security, and to shield you from the consequences of your own mistakes--in general to look after your welfare.
"Is it such a bad thing to ensure adequate medical care for the poor?" You ask. Certainly not, so long as you don't steal from or enslave anyone else to do it. "But this isn't slavery! It's taxes and government. This is the way the world works. Even Jesus said to give unto Caesar what is Caesar's." Absolutely right. And if you belong to Caesar, then you have no right to object to anything he may take from you or do to you.
Applying for a social security account or accepting benefits from the State is not a business transaction--simple services received for payment. In a business transaction you are free to withdraw at any time. According to the Social Security Administration, "SSA does not change, void or cancel SSNs."4 If you decide you no longer wish to purchase this service, you could go to prison; your home could be taken; your children could be sold out of state. A dirty business indeed.
"[The Beast] also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666."5
Application for a social security account is application for State ownership of your soul. You are a sheep in the State pasture and your social security number is the State's brand of ownership. It's only a matter of time before your master has Applied Digital Solutions or some other vile corporate entity inject a microchip, containing your Number, under the skin of your right hand.6
In 1996 Congress passed, and the President signed into Law, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996. This act tied your social security account number into your driver's license, your professional licenses, your hunting or fishing licenses, your marriage license, your passport, and your employment. You are no longer allowed to drive, hunt, fish, marry or divorce, or claim paternity without a social security number. If you are a doctor, a hair stylist, a pharmacist, or any other professional for whom the State requires a license, then you are no longer allowed to work without a social security number. Very soon you will be unable to buy or sell without the Number. Congress' justification for this abomination? Dead-beat dads.7 Yeah, right. "If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number." Or is it Dad's number?
What is your addiction to the Slave State? Is it really the help that it gives the poor? If so, you have been deceived. The poor were much better off materially and spiritually before the Welfare State. Or are you addicted to the illusory safety net of knowing that Uncle Sam will be there to catch you when you fall in your old age. It's time for you to make a choice. There is another thing that Jesus said: "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money." If you have chosen the slavery of welfare and social security, then you have chosen money over God. You have sold your soul to the State. Is God your master? Or is the State? You cannot serve two masters. "But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord."8 You have a chance now to repent of your dependence on the State instead of on God. Reject the mark of State ownership now. Return to God now!
Oh, by the way. . .that law designed to catch dead-beat dads? The one that makes it a crime to drive, fish, or possibly even work without a social security number? It's also known as Title 42, Chapter 7, Subchapter IV, Part D, Section 666.
1 Of course, not every slave owner abided by the rules of law or morality. At one time or another every master/slave relationship except that between God and man is abused. Witness Ruby Ridge, or Waco, or Ismael Mena, or Peter McWilliams, or thousands of others just like them.
