Let me explain something to you... The Income Tax was born because Populists screamed for a tax that hit only the rich. Don’t believe me? Check it, you have Google. But the rich are ALWAYS one step ahead, so eventually the Income Tax was applied to EVERYONE. Your circular logic guarantees that a government agency will always be one step away from taking my property and leaving me with little if any recourse. Besides, RICH PEOPLE DON’T PAY TAXES. They simply pass the cost of taxation down the line in the form of increased prices for the goods and services they provide. The consumer pays for EVERYTHING. All that I want is freedom. If I have to sign my name or go to jail, I am NOT free.

Let me explain something o you. The GOP was the party of big government 100 years ago. Then the income tax was passed and it suddenly became the part of smaller government. Do you not see a connection? Thirty years ago I never heard of a “big government conservative”. Now that their taxes are lowered we see it becoming very common especially among the C of C wing of the party. It goes to show that if they don't pay for it they will spend us into oblivion. Got it?
