“Taxation” is meant to support government operations, not to pay personal living expenses.

Amendment XVI is being grossly abused.

Cook is famous for charting lands previously unknown to the British, including New Zealand
_____________________________________________

It pays to do a little research...

Cook did his charting in the late 1700s...

NZ was already well known,,,

Abel Tasman chartered the islands in the 1400s...

He joined the North Island and the South Island and made Banks Peninsular (Lyttleton/Akaroa) into an island but the overall shorelines are correct...

Every NZ school child recognized the Tasman map when we were children...

It was in the flyleaf of our school atlas...
