Over the years I’ve found myself thrown back and forth over what I believe happens in the US government. When I tell myself to believe the most logical things; I see illogical actions happen. This isn’t by anyone person or party, but the system in general. There are many subjects; too many to cover in one thread, so my focus on this one is the IRS.
Rather than state what I believe and provide links, I’ll post from an inquisitive point of view to see what information others have. I’m not attempting to convince anyone of anything, but hopefully learn something.
I’ve “heard” that the IRS is a collection agency for the Federal Reserve Bank. I’ve also read/heard the Federal Reserve Bank is not part of the US government but a privately own institution. It’s been said that the parties who control the Federal Reserve Bank are people of low integrity.
Is it true that income taxes were voluntary prior to WWII?
The country obviously needs money to run and defend itself, but does the current system of collecting taxes lining the pockets of people that have no right or constitutionally legal cause to be doing such a thing? That would make us slaves in a sense.
From personal experience (if anyone still has PLEASE scan it) I remember reading the instructional booklet that comes with the 1040 in 1993. In the first few sentences it stated that annually thousands of Americans voluntarily pay their taxes, after that year they took that line out.
Any information is greatly appreciated.
Here’s one link I’ll submit. (I will comment on that I don’t have enough information on the Federal Observer to say what it promotes is the truth, however the speeches given by American politicians it provides I do comprehend to be factual.)
