Consider how many of the things we now accept as self-evident were the "rantings of madmen" of yesteryear. The earth is spherical, not flat. It goes around the sun, not vice versa. (Remember, only a few hundred years ago people were imprisoned, tortured, and murdered for saying that.) Flying machines are possible. Things too small to see make us sick. "Heat" is a property of substances, not a separate substance. And so on, and so on.
Human progress would happen a lot faster if people gave more weight to evidence and logic than they do to rumor and popular opinion. The same is true when it comes to the federal income tax.
Unlike some, I don't ask anyone to "believe" me, or "trust" me--both of which imply an act of faith. I ask only that people look at the EVIDENCE to be found in the law books themselves. If you can come up with some explanation that differs from mine, but which explains all of the evidence I point out, great! But if instead you ignore the evidence because you don't want to give up your preconceived notions, then you are just one more obstacle on the road to understanding the truth. For the rest of us, let's look at some evidence, and see where it leads.

Thank you for your well thought out and articulate appraisal of this situation. I applaud you -and- those like you who do understand the facts of the matter.
We have allowed this to happens to us (as have our parents and grandparents) by our apathy, ignorance and outright laziness. We trust jackals with our Liberty and then believe their lies when justify it. Shame on those of us who refuse to stand up for the Founders dream of individual liberty and individual responsibility!
I for one am inspired by people like Larken Rose and Dick Simkanin, Joe Bannister and Vernie Kuglin and of course, Dr. Tom Clayton. They are the 'Son's of Liberty' in this new era of the American Revolution.
Forums like this give fuel to our efforts and indicate that we are making progress in educating our neighbors and awakening them from their slumber. It is good to see: America will be free as long we persist, support and DO!
And a second thought; voting NONE OF THE ABOVE? Just vote LIBERTARIAN in every election. LBT candidates may not get elected just yet, but it does send a powerful message to the entrenched Republicrats that more and more people are fed up with them. This next Presidential election calls for support of Dr. Ron Paul, our Libertarian brother cloaked as a Republican. We need him! He need us and our support. Together we can restore our Constitutional Republic.
Sincerely,
Spencer Benedict
