Yes it is, and in so many ways. Truer words were never spoken.
It consistently amazes me how many so-called conservatives are willing to tolerate the Marxist Tyranny known as the "progressive" income tax, not to mention inheritance taxes and a fractional reserve banking system, all of which are central planks of the Communist Manifesto.
We don't need a "kinder, gentler" income tax: we need to renounce it as the collectivist abomination that it is, and abolish it altogether.
Just because we, our parents, and our grandparents had to submit to this horrible Statist construct doesn't mean we should resignedly allow it to be imposed on our posterity...
Agreed. Nice synopsis.
It really is a FReedom issue, sargon.
The 16th Amendment to the US Constitution and the resulting Marxist-inspired progressive income tax fundamentally changed the relationship of the American people to their government.
Before the 16th, people were the masters, government was the slave.
After the 16th, government was the master and the people were the slaves!
WE WILL NEVER BE A FREE PEOPLE SO LONG AS WE HAVE AN INCOME TAX AND AN IRS!
