Taxes & Taxation?

We had an interesting session last series where we addressed the price of freedom, and a lot of comrades gave interesting input, but one thing stood out: what will you sacrifice for freedom—time, energy, identity, or relationship? And we sighted a good example of how Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, sacrificed identity for relationship.

Taxation sprang up in the conversation, and we thought it's a good thing to talk about in a reasonable series. And today, we are looking at taxes & taxation.

This topic is a topic that touches everyone's pocket, but let's break down the meaning and do away with grammar. Taxes are what you pay, while taxation is how they collect it. We are joined by the last series comrades of the week as a speaker. BwB, please, who are the comrades that are joining us as speakers?
