Yesterday was tax day. Now that you have involuntarily given a significant portion of your income to the federal government ask yourself this question. What portion of your tax dollars will be applied to constitutionally authorized expenditures? The Constitution articulates 18 specific things that the federal government may spend money on (see Article One Section Eight). The Sixteenth Amendment authorizes the federal government to collect taxes from you for the purpose of paying for these 18 articulated federal powers. Every penny of your federal tax money that goes toward anything that is not clearly constitutionally authorized is theft pure and simple.
To be clear the vast majority of stuff that the federal government spends your tax money on is unconstitutional, including Medicare, No Child Left Behind, the Department of Education, Department of Energy, and virtually all of the rest of the “alphabet agencies,” welfare, subsidies to corporations and farms, Planned Parenthood, Medicaid, Social Security, block grants to states, military interventions, and much more.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. – Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.It is immoral, wrong, unethical, and illegal for the federal government to steal from you. Altruistic arguments, utopian arguments, arguments for the necessity of paying for crushing debt, e.g. crushing debt owed for things that the federal government had no authority to spend on in the first place, or any other kind of argument cannot make stealing from you okay. Just because it is the federal government who puts a gun to your head does not make it right. – by Mark Van Schuyver
nice! and to clear up Republican perspective on the top 1% pays the majority of the taxes. And 47% of the population does not pay any?! wrong again. We all pay to much, rich or poor. We pay tax on everything we buy, Everything we sell , (well atleast if the irs had there way) 1 product can be taxed more than the product cost. For example, a company imports a product, that company already pays taxes for being open, but import product, taxed. Distributor sells it to wholesaler-taxed again. Wholesaler sells product to customer- taxed again! A very basic explaination. Why do we pay any State or federal taxes? Majority of the taxes do not come from EMPLOYEE EMPLOYeR TAXES. Not the Top 1% nor the bottom 47%. Its coming from everywhere, Its not the lack of money. Its the power the money brings that they have to much of. Because we are taxed in so many different ways we think its normal.
ReplyDelete'TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION' well my thnking is the philosophy now is lets make the population undereducated and a tax sytem so complicated that even if they did have an education they still wouldnt know whats going on. Why do we pay fuel taxes at the pump when that fuel is already taxed. Why do we pay food tax and the store. when that food as already been taxed....... Wheres are Indians in boston sick of the taxes?
