Quote:Education, yes! We don't need brainwashing. I'm sorry so many have been subjected to it. "Social contract" indeed! I find it hard to believe that anyone would buy such tripe.


I've provided my point of view. Income tax is theft, money taken by force. Government is out of control, and at this point we can only hope that our rulers are benevolent.


The income tax was amended into the Constitution by government, not popular vote. It was sold as a small tax (1-2%) on just the very rich. We're now taxing the average worker at 15%, and the rich at 39%.
What is has become is not what was sold to the state legislatures at the time.

I'm brainwashed, and yet you don't know that we are a democratic republic.


If you don't like it, leave it.



Edit- with all due respect, of course.


But I'm tired of libertarians making these comments with the impression that you guys are the protectors of the constitution bestowed from powers from above, and yet gripe about things that are completely constitutional.
