Somehow it's now PATRIOTIC to pay taxes. Let's me see... if I recall history correctly, there was a terrorist event called the BOSTON TEA PARTY that started a REVOLUTION that created the United States of America. Seems like THEY THE PEOPLE, didn't like paying taxes to the KING OF ENGLAND.
Something the new administration may need to pay attention to.
Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgment of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they were all flown in the last war
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
No, no!
I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do ya?
Yeah!
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!
Tommy K. Cryer researched and wrote a definitive U.S. tax history report called "The Memorandum" in his defense in Federal Court against the IRS and won a unanimous decision from the jurors 12-0. He wasn't writing for the sake of frivolity; his very freedom was at stake and he had to present a convincing argument to a jury of his peers or else spend a good portion of the rest of his life behind bars. It makes for a sober read.
At the bottom of the following page is a link to "The Memorandum":

P.S. I pay taxes like the rest of the herd. What Tommy Cryer did in terms of all-or-nothing is far beyond my risk vs. reward tolerance.
In the 2 days post election the Stock Market Renegades fired a 1000 drop shot over the bow of the Obama dems.Is any one looking at the new tax revenue numbers currently with all this new unemployment?Has the shrinkage in tax revenues overcome any projected gains proposed by demoncrat's tax increases already?That would be a wonderful Whitehouse announcement.Wouldn't be ironic the same folk that expect an Obama tax cut in the mail and better jobs get laid off for a couple of years.Remember 4% unemployment and 50Hrs a week on low tax levy?
BOSTON TEA PARTY WAS ABOUT TAX without REPRESENTATION. WE HAVE REPRESENTATION, SO TAXES ARE GOOD.
==============================================
No we do NOT!
If you are a resident of one state and own property in other states that collects PROPERTY TAXES, you DO NOT HAVE REPRESENTATION.
Do you really believe ANYONE in Washington, DC is representing YOU?
I challenge you to go to a public meeting of the county that you live in. It can be a school board meeting, county council meeting or any meeting of a tax district. Ask a question, IF YOU ARE ALLOWED TO SPEAK, and see how you are received by your ELECTED OFFICIALS.
Then post your experience here. I am sure your eyes will be opened.
So the question would be, then, how angry do you need to get to make a change? Boston Tea Party: The Sequel?
Like I've said in the past, as long as there's an ample supply of fast food and new tv seasons, people won't really get THAT mad...
and: "
And it's only going to get worse, as more and more investors wake up and realize that not only will taxes on their dividends will rise 20% on December 31, 2009 but also taxes on capital gains will rise as well, back to 20% from a historic low of 15%. "
Crap syntax notwithstanding, FFS...you're paying for these banks we're bailing out to continue paying their dividends so they don't lose their precious investors...so either way, we'll pay. Is that a surprise to people? Did we think this bailout was going to be just paper money? Did you not write to your congressman/senator and get their form letter in response as to why they felt they HAD to pass it?
