Speaking as a Constitutional lawyer, It's true that the 16th Amendment did NOT provide an exclusion to the rule of apportionment among the States...nor did Obamacare, which was ridiculously classified as a tax by the Chief Justice...But you see, the US had to pay for a lot of foreign wars, and the Constitution was an impediment to that worthy enterprise....Otherwise, American citizens would have become too prosperous and healthy for their own good!

It has been clear for a very long time that federal taxes are wholly illegal having never been signed into law by the requisite number of states.

I remember a famous American comedian a few years back who had a popular show on TV and happened to be personally acquainted with the head of the IRS and he turned up one day at IRS headquarters with a camera, long before the days of Smart phones, and asked to see him. The IRS guy thought this was going to be some skit for the comedy show on TV and he thought it would be good publicity for the "caring sharing" IRS I guess so he agreed to an interview. The guy did ask a few jokey questions to get things going and the IRS guy was all very jovial about it until the guy asked him to point him towards the statute that gave the IRS the right to raise federal taxes. The head of the IRS gave a couple of waffley answers and then when it was clear this question was the real reason for the comedian's visit he turned aggressive and threw him out.

When the head of the IRS can't tell a comedian where the authority to steal your money comes from you can bet your bottom dollar it doesn't exist.

So don't pay it.

JUST IN - Dollar General shares drop 26%, marking the steepest intraday decline in its history. The CEO attributes the decline to core customers who feel "financially constrained."

Just think of all the wars they can fund and the hundreds of millions of immigrants they can fly in from all over the world to bring diversity to every town in America, with the added bonus of disempowering, through wealth confiscation, the politically active rich who wish to defend liberty, the U.S. Constitution, and all that is holy.

-blackrock buys their properties

-people move into 15 minute cities

pretty slick plan.

Wonderful. So the World Economic Forum's 8 Predictions (Plans) by 2030 will become reality. Cackling Kamala is the perfect useful idiot to get these agenda's passed. Here is their original video: https://x.com/wef/status/828646291399913472?lang=en We must resist!

In the waiting room while my car oil change is being done. An older couple, in their 70s are waiting as well. A commercial comes on CBS (which I would never watch). It is a pro Trump commercial outlining Harris’s litany of lies. The older man comments “And Trump never lies” with clearly a sarcastic tone. I ask you how in the world do older folks not see this scam the left is dishing out?

Taxing unrealized gains is the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard.

The original income tax only affected those with an annual income over $1000, the new capital gains tax only those making over a million. Welcome to Zimbabwe, where a dozen eggs could be had for only a few Billion.

Of course, government could always stop spending… but the idiots we elect (and re-re-re-elect) have no idea how to govern.. only how to buy votes…

If the swamp - ever - is to be drained, it will have to be done by governors refusing to allow their citizens to be taxed for ANYTHING outside of the enumerated powers. It is only governors who can and must keep in line the federal government the (superior) states created to serve them.

Straight-up communism.

We have to figure out a new way to approach this "re-distribution of weatlh" argument.

You see, a large chunk of society wants it to happen. There are many angry people who are middle class and lower class who are filled with anger and jealousy and don't want anyone to have more than they do. And if that means that EVERYONE is poor, well then, they won't feel bad if THEY are poor.

"You have X. I can't afford X. It makes me feel bad that you have X and I don't, so to make me feel better, you can never have X."

It's the old misery loves company article. If they are miserable with their lives, they want everyone to be miserable in their lives.

How do we change this attitude? I don't know. But that is the root of all of this.

The whole “Have-nots vs The Haves” dynamic evaporates like the morning dew in the light of the sun of BASIC financial education. Poor people are poor because they make poor choices. EVERYONE should have a personal and household budget. Read “The Richest Man in Babylon”. Read “Rich Dad Poor Dad”. If reading is inconvenient or difficult then get the audiobooks. People want to be rich but don’t know where to start. Start where you are! But TPTB don’t want you to be empowered and wise, financially or otherwise. They can’t profit off of you if you are healthy or financially savvy. That’s the proper way to go. Get healthy, wealthy and wise.

The problem is... people are lazy.

They would rather blame others for their problems than take responsibility for their own lives and their own choices. If Daddy Government makes all their choices, they have no responsibility whatsoever for anything in their lives. And there are people who want to live like that.

People are lazy but convenience is a drug and it’s very addictive.

Socialism is the first step to communism.

Communism is the philosophy of criminals.
