"The collection of any taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to the public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them. The only constitutional tax is the tax which ministers to public necessity. The property of the country belongs to the people of the country. Their title is absolute. They do not support any privileged class; they do not need to maintain great military forces; they ought not to be burdened with a great array of public employees. They are not required to make any contribution to Government expenditures except that which they voluntarily assess upon themselves through the action of their own representatives. Whenever taxes become burdensome a remedy can be applied by the people; but if they do not act for themselves, no one can be very successful in acting for them."

Calvin Coolidge, Inaugural address, March 4, 1925



“...every tax or rate, forcibly taken from an unwilling person, is immoral and oppressive.”

Auberon Herbert

A billion dollars of TAXPAYER money to throw to the faggot/dyke lobby, endorsing a perverted lifestyle and paying for their "fun"....

This is SYMPTOMATIC of the degradation of society, as dictated in The Communist Manifesto.

We have lost our way.....
