They are not going to change the tax code - not ever.
That is how they lord over the rest of us. It's where the true power lies in Congress.
The chance of them reforming the tax code are about as good as them actually doing something about illegal immigration.
I'm sorry to say that you are correct in your assessment. I believe we need to revolt...peacefully at first.......by refusing to play along....refusing to file and remit our taxes. That will require careful preparation however, so that your property is not confiscated in satisfaction. And ultimately, they'll confiscate anything they can find to make an example out of us, even if you've taken pains to protect it.
And many of us are afraid and have much to lose....but what is freedom worth? Do we acquiesce and accept the chains of slavery?? Do we sentence our children and grandchildren to the same slavery? At what point do we stand up and say, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH? IMHO, we're quickly approaching the breaking point.
This tax season was the worst I've endured in 20 years. The number of amended 1099's was staggering...necessitating amendment of tax returns that had already been filed. The law is so complex that even the brokerage houses can't comply in a timely and accurate fashion. The system is starting to implode. We need to help it along. And IMHO, GWB did just that by signing an additional 20,000+ pages of tax legislation into law.
It's time to reassert our 4th Amendment rights: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Our banks, brokerages houses, Houses of Worship, employers, business partners, routinely divulge the intimate details of our financial lives to the government....in direct violation of the above. We are not secure in our "...houses, papers and effects..." because they are effectively searched, without a warrant, without probable cause, to enforce the income tax.
The income tax is a pox on this country. Time to end it...peacefully if possible.
"They" work for YOU my friend! They are YOUR employees and mine. If we don't properly supervise them we richly deserve what we get!
Yeah ... sort of like giving wimmen' the right to vote, eh?
That good eh?
You can get on our side and help us push. Any other stand makes your prediction all the more likely.
Our history has many examples of things that the grassroots has forced on government. We can do this too.
C'mon over. You'll make lots of great new friends (and a few enemies -- like those who protect the status quo) and you'll be doing a great thing for America and yourself and kids and their kids and . . .
not with that attitude
It's time NOW - and we've never had a better chance = to stand up and shout...The illegals know how to do it.
Why can't we - WE need to let them all know we DEMAND this.
This is actually more important to our freedom that the illegal problem - and the illegals will NOT get a prebate - they will pay the sales tax from dollar one - that will generate billions - but wont be very pleasing to the illegals.
Correct! Money = power. More money (always the direction the commies move) = more power (always the thing the commies want). The idiots in government will ruin this country one day. Actually, they already have.
Let me help you say that again.....
The chance of them correctly reforming the tax code is about as good as them actually doing "the right thing" about illegal immigration.
Because we all know they have "reformed" the tax code....too many times already.
And we all know they probably are going to "do something" about the illegal issue...but it won't be the "right" something.......
FWIW-
