Taxes Shmaxes

The income tax is the biggest every perpetrated on the American people. As Reagan discovered in the Grace commission, all the tax revenue goes toward paying the interest on the money that the US borrows from the private Federal Reserve bank. Up until 1913 America didn't have an income tax. How is it fair that you work the hours at your job week in and week out, but before you see a penny of it, the gov't decides how much you get to keep of your hard earned labor? There's a really good documentary "Freedom to Facsism" just google it that goes into the history of the income tax. There are people who ask "Well, without the income tax how would X gov't program be funded?" Look at your cell phone/cable and other bills and see how much taxes you pay with those. You pay so many more taxes in other places that it's insane.

This whole business about Romney's taxes is just a bunch of nonsense. The idea that you can be villified in America for making money is strange to me. As long as Romney came by it honestly and not in the form of gov't bailouts and such, it's a non-issue. I have more concerns about Romney's views on Foreign policy than what he does in his own life.

I am not rich,but do belive in a flat tax with no loopholes. Having been in business for ourselves , if we had to pay taxes each time we bought and sold an item and everyone else had to do the same we wouldn't be in this situation. (Well that is if the govt. kept theirsicky fingers out) They have robbed ss so much and owe so much in i.o.u.s. If it was paid back ss wouldn't be in trouble.
