Hundreds of millions of Americans are unwitting slaves to the internal revenue "service" of the United States federal government. There is no more appropriate term than slavery for the oppression that results in the involuntary payment of an "income tax" extorted for the rightful activity of exchanging one's labor for money.
Demands for such payment are thinly disguised claims of ownership, making the working population chattel, property of the federal government. This is an abominable evil that must be first recognized and spoken against.
Regarding your interesting article, and especially final illustration, it would be helpful if you could follow it up with references and perhaps recommendations of what, if anything, might be done about such a sorry state of affairs.
Thats an interesting point.
I may do a follow-up at some point - its just hard right now. Life is pretty busy, so posting is slow.
But thanks for pointing that out - I actually hadn't thought of the IRS or taxes as slavery before.
Now that I really think about it, perhaps it is a form of servitude.
I would need to spend some time and do some research before I post anything - could you recommend any good places to help understand this issue?
Hi, Max,
You might find this article interesting and useful. (I'm not necessarily endorsing it).
Also, if you just google "is income tax a form of slavery" you will get some interesting results from the brain-dead tyranny cheerleaders who will try to convince you that it is not.
Thank you so much!
