... as all history informs us

there has been in every State & Kingdom a constant kind of warfare between the governing & governed:

the one striving to obtain more for its support, and the other to pay less.

And this has alone occasioned great convulsions, actual civil wars, ending either in dethroning of the Princes, or enslaving of the people.

Generally indeed the ruling power carries its point, the revenues of princes constantly increasing, and we see that they are never satisfied, but always in want of more.

The more the people are discontented with the oppression of taxes;

the greater need the prince has of money to distribute among his partisans and pay the troops that are to suppress all resistance, and enable him to plunder at pleasure.

There is scarce a king in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the example of Pharaoh,

get first all the peoples money, then all their lands, and then make them and their children servants for ever..

Weapons of Mass Instruction

John Taylor Gatto

In this video, John Taylor Gatto discusses how institutionalized schooling destroys the imagination of students. He points out that large numbers of very successful entrepreneurs never graduated from college, and in many cases never graduated from high school. Why would this be? Isn’t it schooling that prepares us for success? Not at all. Schooling is not education. Schooling is indoctrination. You are being prepared to be good corporate workers, not leaders, thinkers or innovators. You are being prepared to “fit in”, without a choice as to what you will “fit into”.
