Nothing childish about it!
The ideas you so casually promote, are a THREAT to DEMOCRACY, to FREEDOM and to PROPERTY RIGHTS! You are too ignorant (or unconcerned) of world history, which could educate you to the fact, that the loss of
PROPERTY RIGHTS is one of the primary underpinnings of totalitarianism!
And though you don't understand all the dimensions of this, you should try and understand this intellectually, if nothing else.
STEALING or PURPOSEFULLY "Devaluing" money, "IS" a threat to PROPERTY, therefore FREEDOM ITSELF! Money is nothing more than a
marker, a
record, of the "value" you have accrued in life. Money represents
VALUE, whether of property, or possessions, or of accrued value through work. To OVER-TAX, is to STEAL the value of one's work, or property and efforts... and the value of his life itself... "FINANCIALLY".
They may as well be taking the oven out of your house, your car, or some of your land, etc... Because they are taking much of your
VALUE, your economic net-worth, as represented by money.
Do you remember why the colonists rebelled in the first place? It was a little something, about having REPRESENTATION in government, but why? Because the King was OVER-TAXING them... TAKING THEIR LIVLIHOOD and NET-WORTH away from them! They were INCENSED! They worked too hard, to have the fruits of their labors, which they had accumulated, just be RIPPED OFF from them, because the government was too greedy!
Americans, from even
BEFORE we became an independent nation don't take kindly to being ROBBED by oppressive and UNJUST government!
This issue goes to the VERY FOUNDATION of our Democracy and it's sustainability. It is not that "I" am being childish. It is that "YOU" are being aloof, irresponsible and frankly... UN-AMERICAN!
You simply DO NOT UNDERSTAND just how serious and VITAL this issue is! This is NOT a small matter... it goes to the heart of freedom itself!
Theft through excessive taxation, is just as poisonous as a government ruled by theocracy. It is a CONTROL TACTIC! You like your life and family being controlled to that degree?
I don't!
It is also a way to control STATES and undermine STATES RIGHTS! Because when the government collects EXCESSIVE taxes, meaning...
VALUE LEAVES YOUR STATE where does it go? To the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT! And what does that do? The Federal Government can then put huge CONDITIONS on returning some of that money to your state, through federal expenditures on highways, infrastructure, public schools, etc... TAnd if the state doesn't agree to the conditions put on the money, guess what?
They don't get those billions back.
Weren't you the one "protecting" the LOCAL economy?
Federal income tax, is one of the biggest con-games of all time, to STEAL your state's money, and then CONTROL your state's destiny and decision making powers and rights!
It is NO COINCIDENCE that it was AFTER the CIVIL WAR that politicians tried and tried, until they succeeded, in making Income Tax, paid to the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, a PERMANENT requirement.
Because it results in a HUGE TRANSFER of WEALTH, from STATE CONTROL to the control of FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!
This allows the federal government to
DICTATE and
CONTROL States, and by extension, their
Populations!
Any Ron Paul supporters out there? He is one of the most honest and straightforward politicians you will find in America. He publicly acknowledges the
DEVIOUS and
MANIPULATIVE powers and purposes of the FEDERAL RESERVE... a quasi-private-public "partnership" between Washington, DC and powerful Bankers.
Income Tax has just as devious and manipulative motives, that you are just as ignorant of... and they LIKE IT THAT WAY!
"Just keep swallowing the government issued Kool Aid and you will be fine, and in complete compliance!"
