A striking reality in the U.S. is the vast land and wealth controlled by the federal government: Alaska 90%, Nevada 87%, Utah 65%, and so on, supposedly in trust for the people, yet private groups often manage these lands more effectively. Beyond land, civil governments claim 40–60% of our income through taxes, effectively owning a significant portion of our labor modern slavery in all but name. While the 19th-century abolition ended private slavery, public ownership persists, making citizens “half free, half enslaved.” True emancipation requires action from the people, not Washington or the state. Until then, paychecks remind us that the modern state has grown from servant to master. Change begins within, as Paul declares, “[W]here the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (2 Cor. 3:17). #GovernmentControl #Taxation #ModernSlavery #FederalLand #Freedom #CivilLiberty #Emancipation #LibertyInChrist #BigBrother #TakeAction"
