"From the beginning of this mess I was saying that we should be just as afraid of abolishing the IRS: there could be a fresh new hell that fills the vacuum.

Now we know that the admission of guilt was initiated by a planted question; so I'm even more suspicious that there is a planned outcome."

Have to agree with this.

We never had this problem till the 16th Amendment to the Constitution was passed in 1913.

“The power to tax is the power to destroy.”

http://www.bartleby.com/73/1798.html

NUMBER: 1798
AUTHOR: Daniel Webster (1782–1852)
QUOTATION: The power to tax is the power to destroy.
ATTRIBUTION: This quotation comes from the words of DANIEL WEBSTER and those of JOHN MARSHALL in the Supreme Court case, McCulloch v. Maryland.

Webster, in arguing the case, said: “An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy,” 17 U.S. 327 (1819).

In his decision, Chief Justice Marshall said: “That the power of taxing it [the bank] by the States may be exercised so as to destroy it, is too obvious to be denied” (p. 427), and “That the power to tax involves the power to destroy … [is] not to be denied” (p. 431).

REPEAL THE 16TH!

The IRS has been sending documents to an engineering outfit here in town, but they’ve been misaddressed to my PO Box. The first time I saw one of these envelopes I about had a heart attack on the spot. I continue to get them, and continue to readdress them and throw them back.

I’m not sure what you mean. Goes the other way? I’m the low-info voter?

I was referring to the fact, that either political party is pretty much the same deal. If you don’t know that fact, then perhaps you are a low-info voter. I get writing, like I know something, and offend a good person like you. I’m a dummy. Sorry, for bothering you.

In America, our money supply is created by debt. We The People are put on loans (by the congress and president) to the private banking cartel called the Federal Reserve, which in turn issues an amount of credit to the Treasury which then --using the federal reserve banks-- 'deposits the credit check created out of nothing but the promise to pay, into the banks and it is then sold in the form of treasury notes to any buyers who believe We The People are good for the debt.

The ponzi scam works to keep US working for the banking cartels, growing our cumulative debt, until the banking cartels decide inflation is too high and they hit the reset button ... which is deadly to a great many people but allows the banking cartels to start again with an newly accumulated portfolio of real assets bought up or 'repossessed' during the collapse they structured. You can see the entire process at work in countries like Ecudaor, Argentina, etc. The world is ruled by the banking powers, the elite bankers who are the only trillionaires ont he planet.
