By Christopher Cannon

The events of fighting for my rights against Florida’s corrupt conservative led government led me to write Slave State. It also, highlighted the undeniable clear control the wealthy elites have over our government and legal system and how it is used against the majority of Americans.

Below is the synopsis from the back cover.

Dispersed across the country, people are suffering long lasting and sometimes extreme cases of financial hardships. Poverty is no longer confined to just uneducated and criminalized citizens, but good and decent hard-working families are subject to this phenomenon. Prolonged financial difficulty increases the likely hood of catastrophic circumstances, family degradation and increased mental and physical health decline.

The author takes you on his own first-hand account of his experiences dealing with the fallout of a corrupt legal system leading to loss of vehicle and homelessness. He shows how anyone on either side of the political spectrum can be easily impacted by the current system. He also entices you into critically thinking about a more tangible and realistic intentions behind the system that we are enslaved by.

Slave State

By Curtis Ray Davis ll

I cannot add my book with out adding Curtis Davis’s book Slave State. Yes, they share the same name. His book preceded mine. In my book half of it is geared towards income inequality and the corruption of the wealthy in our government institutions. But, both books shares the Injustices of our system. Certainly the black community especially in the south can relate to the Injustices that have persisted as illustrated by Curtis.

Slave State is an incarcerated author’s attempt to illustrate historical and contemporary failures in the Louisiana Criminal Justice System. It is a collection of essays and articles written by a man wrongfully convicted of murder and sentenced to serve the balance of his life in a modern day penal colony in Louisiana, known commonly as Angola. He was actually innocent, but truthful convictions are not the aim of the weaponized legal system constructed by the White Supremacist who designed the State’s penal code in the Jim Crow era.
The obvious questions are (1) How did the State of Louisiana come to lead the entire world in per capita incarceration of her citizens? and (2) why are over 80 percent of her prisoners of African descent?
Antebellum scholars and academicians debate the actual genesis of the Jim Crow system of racial segregation practiced in the Southern United States. However, almost all of them agree that the advent of the Black Codes immediately following the Civil War represented the definite legal codification of institutional discrimination based solely on race. According to the legislators who crafted Louisiana’s Constitution these laws were specifically designed to subjugate the African American population and perpetuate White Supremacy into infinitum.

My Fight Against the System

The IRS

There has been a national push by many civilians including myself to rebel against the IRS. This needs to be done! The tax system is part of the huge disparity Americans face and immensely benefits the wealthy. It has been proven time and time again, many of these same wealthy people evade taxes with almost no convictions! We do have a certain bit of leverage, first Trump is a crook and has fought hard to keep his micro-paid taxes a secret so he is unlikely to do much to make the IRS transparent and fair. Second, DOGE, again under Trump, dispersed mass pink slips to IRS employees. However, because people have been fighting back the Federal Government have tried to crack down on this. Remember we are dealing with an institution that took down Al Capone. However, this is a fight many of us must take.

Hello, first I want you, the support staff that opens and reads this letter to know this letter is in no way directed towards you but rather the IRS and related government heads. I know most of you are like I used to be, just working our asses off just to get by. Please feel free to print copies give it to your supervisors, hang it in the lunch room or even post it on your favorite social media; seriously, I personally consent!

For the past decade I have been plagued by a tax bill from 2015. Although married these taxes were a result of my beautiful wife not having had taxes taken out at that time. I am all for paying my bill or even my now ex-wife’s bills. However, my records indicate I have had way more in my refunds from year to year intercepted by the IRS that would have easily covered any and all of my debts with the IRS. And this is just my refunds over the past decade; I have no idea how many of my ex-wife’s refunds if any were intercepted. Does this not seem logical! Regardless I have tried several times to address this by contacting the IRS, which you all know damn well is impossible especially now, with that dumb shit in office who initiated a federal culling. The last time I was successful was sometime in late 2022 where I was in the process of clearing things up with whomever it was-I was speaking to at the time. But, of course the second I hung up with them, I might have well never aggravated myself in the first place with all the around and around and around phone calls and extremely long waits; yeah, you know what I am talking about.

              In 2021 I suffered a serious work-related injury that kept me from returning to work. I have had my bout with corrupt government agencies and organizations over the past four years and this has kept me quite busy and taken its toll on my mental health, and I was unable to re-engage with the IRS about this bill. As stated, my records indicate I have paid enough in intercepted refunds (mine alone) that should have covered all my debts especially this one with the IRS. The past two years my taxes (2023-2024) consecutively yielded exactly $0 either way. And until a senior IRS official contacts me to clear up this BS bill I am no longer filing anymore taxes.

With that being said, I like the many other millions of workers we are sick of the BS! We are F’n sick of the unequal system here in America. Everything benefits the F’n wealthy yet, we are supposed to continue to accept the status quo. Stagnant wages, sky high house and rental prices, inflation, unequal tax system, corruption and double standards in the judiciary, no future for ourselves let alone our kids, family, or friends, a planet that is way past recovering! This is simply something I can no longer do! I have since pulled my funds from the various institutions and have long since disengaged in normal economic activities including the BS credit system. I will no longer support in any way shape or form this country. Nay, I will re-engage with the social media and web-based community to solidify our voices against the vile authoritarianism and oligarchy that now exists.

If you know anything about human civilization, these are all signs of a civilization in an inevitable collapse!

Sincerely, a pissed off “real” tax payer!

The Credit System

The Credit system has always been an ineffective annoyance to me. I generally never had an interest in the concept and only occasionally had gotten a card because we are always told it was a good way to build credit. The truth is, it only really works well for people who are wealthy. I give a breakdown on this in my book. Bottom line-shouldn’t people that are financially challenged, that work really damn hard at paying their bills and maintaining a good score get a great score, rather than some dipshit business person that has a lot of money and only uses credit to enrich himself even more?

The big issues I dealt with was, a business that wanted to put a disputed item on your credit report can easily do so at a mere submission. Then you have to fight like hell to get it off. And just like the IRS you CANNOT get in touch with these people! The second thing is over the past ten (10) years I have had dozens of times where my personal data was leaked online and was subsequently found on the dark web. These things can and do impact people credit and lives all the time with no protection or real compensation.

This is just a few of the organizations that leaked my information:

• Equifax (09/2017) pretty fucking obvious. Thanks Equifax!
• Capital One (07/2019) the only damn credit card I’ve had in the past twenty years!
• Advance Medical Management, LLC (05/23) I have no idea who these people are, why they have my information or what medical info was leaked.
• Cricket wireless (2024) My cellular service provider.
• Change Healthcare (02/24) Again, I have no idea who these people are, why they have my information or what medical info was leaked.
• Horizon Behavioral Health (3/16/2025) the place that got me arrested.
• Bumble (01/26)

There has been numerous others but cannot locate the notices, but I’m sure you get the picture.

Like I said, I almost never used my credit yet seemed like I fought and fought these three agencies constantly to verify and remove stuff from my credit. For example, there was a medical bill related to my workers comp case that got onto my credit. Eventually, with enough evidence and persistence, I was able to get them to remove it. The only thing I have left on my credit is one student loan that I still owe and in light of everything I went through the past five years, I froze my accounts, added fraud alerts and told all three credit bureaus to go fuck themselves! My current credit reports all show “no data.” Below is the official letter.

Actual statement submitted to TransUnion below.

The debt EMBCC currently managed by Assetcare LLC is related to a workers compensation case in 2021. I made several attempts to resolve this with the creditors and dispute resolution. I submitted several supporting documents supporting this. The account would be removed from my report then reappears under a new buyer of the debt. It is clear credit bureaus with a focus on profit is willing to overlook wrongful addition to a persons credit without, facts, confirmation or validity. The burden of proof is against the person and their credit not the business. It is because the clear practice and methodologies of the credit system and its direct relation to an archaic system of class division, I have stopped utilizing credit long ago. Credit itself is just another tool to disparage and suppress the working class. I do not have to play this game. Sincerely bite me, Christopher Cannon
