RGS...
I disagree. Most people complain about their taxes. That most don't do anything about it, is because most feel they have no power personally. Apathy holds us back as a civilization, from making REAL political changes. I've heard enough people say their voice won't make a difference, to realize at least THAT.
We lived without an income tax for 137 years. It wasn't until the Federal Reserve Act, where paper money was to be printed out of thin air, that extra taxation became necessary. Add in all the entitlement spending, the worldwide military empire, and decades of people becoming accustomed to the tax, that it now SEEMS necessary to pay an income tax....when in reality, a proper amount of spending restraints (the ones YOU advocate for, due to unconstitutionality), would ease the burden back to not needing the income tax anyway.
You argue against the unconstitutional spending, when it is THAT SPENDING that is requiring us to pay the income taxes that you are advocating.
You don't see a paradox there?
READ the 8th section of Article I. You and the other loons that claim the Government has no power to tax income have a major reading comprehension problem.
The Government could tax the air you breath if they thought the people would not vote them out for doing it. The fact that "we the people" have NOT eliminated Income Tax in almost 100 years is proof that, at least so far, the majority agree it is fair and reasonable and further that it is in fact a power clearly given the Federal Government.
