What was said
"Check this out. Like, literally look up what were the slaves in the Bible paying? 20%. We get taxed higher. We get taxed higher than the slaves in the Bible. It's kind of crazy."
TJ Visiondary, CEO of Axe Decentralized Real Estate, compared modern American tax rates unfavorably to the 20 percent tax burden on slaves described in the Bible during a discussion with Russell Brand. The claim was made in the context of advocating for decoupling from centralized government systems through off-grid land ownership and community building. Brand echoed this sentiment, describing modern taxation as a form of slavery regardless of race or economic status.
