<p>They say death and taxes are the only certainties in life—but what if taxation has always been about control rather than necessity? In this explosive second episode of The Daylight Robbery Series, Dominic Frisby exposes the shocking history of taxation, its hidden influence on civilization, and why the modern taxpayer has more in common with a medieval serf than they realize.</p>

🔹 The mind-blowing connection between taxation, war, and political control<br />
🔹 Why your most expensive lifetime purchase isn’t a house—it’s your government<br />

🔹 Why Bitcoin and financial sovereignty could be the ultimate escape from taxation tyranny</p>
