The Government has the power to take all the wealth of the people without permission and by force at any time for any reason.
All wealth belongs to the Government. All wealth bartered by personal labor is the property of the state. All property is owned by the state. i.e. real estate tax = rent
The Government will give back or allow the people to keep (same difference!) a portion of wealth to sustain them and/or encourage them to be more productive as it benefits the state.
The Government will make further adjustments to what wealth the people may have by imposing taxes and fees for any reason.
The Government will redistribute the wealth of the people from one person to another without their permission and by force if necessary.
The Government will have immunity at all times.
The Government can not be forced to divulge any information.
