Dave Ramsey just dropped a nuclear take on why the gov automated tax withholding:
"If people had to physically hand over cash from their paycheck to the IRS every month, there would be a revolution. They'd burn DC down. People's faces would melt off."
The psychological game is insane:
• You never see the money leave your hand
• It's gone before you touch it
• No emotional pain = no mass revolt
Kamel: "Tea Party round two if we went back."
Ramsey: "Income tax withholding was a brilliant psychological trick. Make it all behind the scenes."
This is the same playbook tradfi uses to keep you docile. Invisible extraction = no resistance.
Crypto flips this. Every transaction is visible. Every gas fee hurts. Every rug pull is on-chain forever.
Maybe that's why they hate it.
