You choose a job and you choose to own property. I don't see what freedom you are denied. You seem to rebuke the words of Our Lord to render to Ceasar that which is Ceasar's and to God that which is God's. But that is your free choice. If you live a place where the folks there got together and decided for the good of all certain services would be paid for by taxes based upon ownership or income, I don't see one being a slave. International financial mumbo jumbo is just that. America creates it's own wealth and the free choices of it people to pursue whatever creates that wealth. The boundless cooperation and tolerance of deeds between so many races, creeds, nationalities, religions is testimony to what Our Lord called neighbors. Again your only slavery is to your own free will.>> Mankind's free will is the source of his own slavery. When we chose our will - as if rights and claims come from us and others - versus God's will - in which we acknowledge and celebrate everything good coming from Him - then we enslave ourselves and others to this resulting "cart before the horse" disorder. As for the Lord's comment "render to Ceasar that which is Ceasar's and to God that which is God's", my comments only support and celebrate his truth and do not "rebuke" at all. We are called as individuals to "render" to either Ceasar or God. If what we are contracting into - for example Ceasar's state - is not "of God" then we are called to proclaim this truth so we can continue rendering to God what is His. But if Ceasar is proclaiming to be God and requires a conditional contract which will war against our freedoms and rights under God unless we pay him tribute then we are all called by God to proclaim this to the Ceasars of this world for his and our benefit in the name of the Lord for the advancement of His will, etc. But if you believe in Ceasar versus God then by all means render unto him what he is asking of you. But if you believe in God versus Ceasar you have an obligation to freely receive and freely share the truth of his freedom, light, energy and love so that others can see, share and return to celebrate this divine freedom which the Lord grants to each one of us as long as we Love Him and love our neighbors as we love ourselves. True rights come from God, not man. Read the Declaration of Independence. If there wasn't a belief in ONE God and his perfect providence then that document would not have been received and signed accordingly. Those 56 signers were declaring their contract-relationship with King George null and void by listing reasons which the King could have responded to reasonably and openly. In effect they were acknowledging these hidden agendas that were corrupting this God given divine order which we are all called to render into, proclaim and support as we acknowledge that all rights come from our Lord God. >>International financial mumbo jumbo is just that. America creates it's own wealth and the free choices of it people to pursue whatever creates that wealth. The boundless cooperation and tolerance of deeds between so many races, creeds, nationalities, religions is testimony to what Our Lord called neighbors.>> This Federalized private corporation called the United States of America is claiming ownership all rights to this "wealth" which the "free choices" of individuals here and throughout the world are producing. We do not have currency anymore. We have FIAT funny money which is backed by the faith, trust, time, creativity, energy and property of a world nation state that is claiming us as it's "property" for it's against "us" that these "notes" are sold on the world financial markets. This is no different than selling us as slaves being so much property of these competing nations which all feed up to supporting the power of this one world nation state which will, soon, be revealing itself. 119293!!
