    It directly relates to information about how we are moving forward in our relief efforts.
    Taxes ARE theft

    US already tried the Articles of Confederation but concluded that we kinda have to have enforceable taxes to run society. It would be nice if there wasn't shitbirds ruining it but that's true of all walks of life.

    Didn't have income taxes back then. Tariffs, property, excise taxes back then and poll taxes on voters. No income tax. Gotta have taxes without a doubt but the national income tax didn't get passed as an amendment till 1913. It was briefly implemented during Civil War and in 1890's tho.

    Agreed and there is no way you should look at 19th century politics with 21st century eyes or compare the two at all. I do not have a problem with income tax. In fact I think there should be a national sales tax to go along with it.
