If the government passed a law that taxed you to breathe air, would you pay it? This is no different when the IRS says they can tax your labor. The point is that humans HAVE to work to survive and provide provisions for their families. If you tax my labor then you have made me a slave, simple as that. All the services from government are already paid for by other taxation (corporate tax, property tax, gas tax, utility tax, etc.) They do not need to tax your labor.

We live in a representative republic. If you don't like laws that are passed by our elected representatives and that are declared Constitutional by our court system, work to change the laws. Don't sit there and tell me violence is justified just because you don't like a law. That's a recipe for civil war given the hugely divergent world views that people in this country have (we'd win any civil war, of course, since we have more guns and are better shots, but that's really not the point).

you tax my labor then you have made me a slave, simple as that.

Your dictionary must have a different definition for slave than mine. In my book, a slave is someone who is property, who cannot choose what work to do, who cannot choose where to go, etc. Taxing your wages hardly makes you a slave.

The point is that humans HAVE to work to survive and provide provisions for their families.

It's just silly to say people need to work so you can't tax their wages but it's OK to tax their gas or utilities. People need utilities like electricity, water, and sewage. Most people need gas to get to work (unless you're an enviro-nut who thinks we all need to live and work in small villages and most of us never need see any place more than 50 miles from our homes).

They do not need to tax your labor

I agree they don't need to tax our wages to get enough money for the essential things the federal government needs to do. But they do, and it's Constitutional. I'll hope, work, vote for the right people, and pray they change that in my lifetime.

Well said.
