If a person doesn't pay their taxes they get in trouble.
Like Tim Guitner(sp)?
He got in trouble by becoming the Sec of Treasury.
A looting, and I do mean that correctly LOOTING, the citizens of this foolish country of thousands of dollars from every taxpayer. Now GS is rewarding, with Tim's help, the corrupt criminal enterprise mojos with mulitiple million dollar payoffs.
Yes. let's all support this system, we are being put on a plantation as surely as were the slave from Africa two hundred years ago.
When taxes - from every source - becomes (+/-) 50% of one's salary - you're entering the realm of a tax slave. These taxes, BTW, increase regularly and outpace any wage increase the average man may receive.
Lets start with having lost the freedom to demonstrate civilly without being herded into a free speech zone, only to be overtly filmed by some s'bag in an attempt to intimidate.
Is there any nation on earth where each individual can decide to pay taxes based upon their conscience?
Not in America, land of the "free." Obviously we're no different from any other conformist nations. We use force to secure the compliant behavior of our subjects, just like any other country. We'll put citizens under our orderly boot heels if they will not comply.
Phoenix just instituted a 2% on food. Add that to all other 'hidden taxes' *plus* what the fed, state & local folks want and you're at or near 50%. It's about addition, not about a better accountant.
He got in trouble by becoming the Sec of Treasury.
He had to pay the back taxes and interest.
BOO HOO
If my corporation games the system heavy penalties are involved, and it the Friqqing SOT doesn't know the fairly simple rules of houskeepers it shows he is fundamentally dishonest.
He is an embaressment to the notion of fiscal integrity.

Were the Tea Party demonstrators who went to D.C. last year herded into a free speech zone?
The free speech zones are usually set up for events like IMF meetings and political conventions. People can still protest, that freedom has not been taken away.
I recall that when Obama was elected, people in cities all over the US went out into the streets to celebrate... without permits and without being herded into speech zones.
The people in the video at the top of this post were out on the street and not in some speech zone.

So you're an anarchist? You want no government?
If people can avoid paying taxes based on their conscience, then we will have anarchy. Is that what you want?

I'm guessing they were penned in to an area designated by the PTB and filmed no doubt. If you have more to add, please present it.
I was filmed at a local one and proudly gave whomever it was the bird. That didn't happen in the 60s, but how would you know?
Want more kid?
How about the way the Bush adm. used the Pentagon's military analysts in a campaign to generate favourable news coverage of the Administration's wartime performance, an examination discovered by The New York Times?
Stalin would blush at the boldness of such raw political propaganda.

How old are you again?
You never did answer that question.
I would agree that taxes everywhere are too high but talk of being a tax slave is a bit over the top.
I'm not interested in discussing personal details but I'm over 30 and under 65.
In 2007, the FBI reported on concern about white supremacists recruiting soldiers, saying "hundreds" of neo-Nazis were in the active military. But in April, a Department of Homeland Security report on extremism that reiterated much the same point was widely criticized by veterans groups and some conservative politicians as being unpatriotic, leading the Justice Department to retract the DHS report.
Critics acknowledge that extremism in the Army is a touchy political subject.

You are correct.
One can go into their closet, and close the closet door, and hold up a sign saying they do not support these endless wars for coporations for hours on end - that freedom has nor been taken away from them.
You are a real Thomas Jefferson, MC.
I think you could do well to apply as an internet enforcer in N Korea.

You must have missed the antiwar rallies that took place all over the US, including large ones in NYC and DC protesting Bush's war on Iraq. They were outside, by the way.
Just because you weren't paying attention doesn't mean they didn't happen.
Do you think Alex Jones has accomplished anything in the fight he claims to be waging?
if accomplishment is measured in making a whole lot of folks aware (for starters) of the two party fraud, the corruptness that exists in government, and the power/shadow behind the facade, then, i would say, yes.
Tea Party protesters were all over DC and all over the national Mall. They were not herded into any zone.
They had a PERMIT and yes they were herded into a zone, specifically the zone granted by the PERMIT........some free speech and right to assemble.
"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ... We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of." Edward Bernays, Father of Public Relations
Speaking w/o fear of someone yelling "hate speech."
I just told you I can't assemble peaceably w/o some govt. flack filming me in an attempt to intimidate. Hello? Anybody home???
I also told you the MSM was in the tank with the past Administration in an attempt to shape my opinion of their illegal, immoral wars. I seriously doubt that stopped since Obama was selected.
These examples jump all over my right to live in a free society that isn't shaped by government interference.
Grow a pair kid. This government has become empowered 100 fold thanks to sheeple such as yourself who defend it's intrusion into my life, but I expect such nonsense from a 30-something.
if accomplishment is measured in making a whole lot of folks aware (for starters) of the two party fraud, the corruptness that exists in government, and the power/shadow behind the facade, then, i would say, yes.
And the result of this supposed increase in awareness is....? Nothing.
You realize there is no way to measure how many people Alex Jones has allegedly made aware of the "two party fraud" but judging by the fact that the two party system is still intact, I'd say the number is most likely quite small.
They had a PERMIT and yes they were herded into a zone, specifically the zone granted by the PERMIT........some free speech and right to assemble.
Nobody herded them, they walked through the streets and took the Metro on their own. They gathered on the Mall because having a protest in the ghettos of Southeast DC wouldn't have worked out so well.
I'm talking about the 9/12 event. They assembled, they spoke. Nobody was shot. I don't think anyone was even arrested.
If you received an anal exam when trying to buy a gun you should move to a different state.
Boarding a plane w/o being molested.
I've never been "molested" when going through airport security. You are resorting to hyperbole in an attempt to make a point which tells me your argument is weak.
Speaking w/o fear of someone yelling "hate speech."
If you're afraid to speak that's your choice, not a loss of freedom. If you don't see the difference your're hopless.
I just told you I can't assemble peaceably w/o some govt. flack filming me in an attempt to intimidate. Hello? Anybody home???
I told you that tens of thousands of people did assemble peacefully in DC last year and they obviously weren't intimidated nor did they give a shit about being videotaped. You sound like a whiner.
I also told you the MSM was in the tank with the past Administration in an attempt to shape my opinion of their illegal, immoral wars. I seriously doubt that stopped since Obama was selected.
I'm always suspicious of so called conservatives who insist on arguing episodic minutia to derail 4um posters from talking and becoming friends.

Reminds me of a story told by the ancient egyptians:
Eye, bird, boat, sun, bird, bird...

Have you written down all the things you could do 40 years ago that you can't do today?
I'd love to see that list.
Forty years ago, I could buy four gallons of gas for a dollar bill or, a silver dollar. They were the same to me, four quarters, a dollar or a silver dollar... all the same. A dollar was close to an ounce of silver.
Today, it takes ten or twelve of those pieces of paper to do that, yet, the silver dollar will still get me those four gallons. Somehow, someone made my paper money less valuable than it was. In order for them to do that, the backing by gold and silver had to be dropped and allowing bills to be printed up without the precious asset to back it. Who had the power to pull such a scam? Who benefitted all these years slowly devaluing the paper we call money? Tyrants. Who suffers? We do.
Therefore, all of us have suffered under tyranny. Some see it and some don't. Acknowledged or not, it is there.
Now that's funny. I'll bet at least 1-in- 100,000 Uhhmerkkins is clever enough to figure that out.
