The Federal Mafia

[Steven Elling]

With all this talk about freedom being taken away and such I though I would 
point this out.

Our country was founded on the basis of a government for the people, of the 
people, by the people.  Meaning the government is subservient to us the 
citiziens of the United States of America.  The government really started 
to take control of our lives around World War II.

I can't remember where exactly I read about this but here it goes.

During World War I the government needed financial help with the war effort, 
so they asked that citizens show their patriotism by sending money to the 
government.  The government helped them determine how much they should send 
by establishing a `voluntary' Federal Income Tax system.  They stated it 
was `voluntary' because they knew they were barred from laying direct taxes 
on citizens by the constitution.  After the war was over, citizens kept 
showing their patriotism by sending in money and this continued through to 
World War II.

By the time World War II came around the government had amassed a large sum 
of money due to citizens' patriotism and said my God look at this untapped 
resource.  Once the government determined they had one hell of a source of 
'income', they proceeded to make the Federal Income Tax look like a 
required tax instead of the `voluntary' form that was established during 
World War I.  They knew this was illegal due to the constitution and 
decided to create the IRS Tax Code to further hide the fact and make the 
Federal Income Tax look mandatory.

They were successful in making the Federal Income Tax look mandatory and 
because we all `pay' taxes now the government is able to take control of 
our lives and have the mass military spending budgets.  Which brings me to 
my point.

We need to take back control of our government by saying no to the Federal 
Income Tax.  Their have been people doing it since the `60s.

An interesting read that everyone needs to read is 'The Federal Mafia' by 
Irwin Schiff.  This book exposes a lot of the truths about the government 
and their Mafia tactics.
