Look to the HISTORY OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION. People stood in bread lines for an entire day for BREAD, its why the phrase A CHICKEN IN EVERY POT" FDR. FRANKLIN DELANOR. ROOSEVELT STATRED SOCIAL SECURITY FOR THE WORKERS WHO HAD NOTHING AFTER WW2 it was never a hand out everyone since the. has EARNED ALL OF SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS it was never ever , meant to FUND THE GOVERNMENT. OR THE PRESIDENT. IT IS OURS, WE PAID INTO THE FUND FOR DECADES, for retirement for medical. for OUR NEEDS not to be stolen by the government or used to fund wars, that's a lie that THE WELL IS DRY FOR FOOD BENEFITS? That's a big fat lie too, that Republicans can spend 60 million on a Halloween party 40 BILLION on a forgien country that desperately needs help? 900 MILLION ON A BALLROOM? who knows how much was spent on renovation of the Lincoln bathroom or how much ybe DEMITIO LITION OF THE HISTORIC EAST WING.cost the taxpayers? THAT IS. WASTE. FRAUD AND VERY MUCH ABUSE OF THE TAXPAYERS MONEY

Here’s just a few reasons why taxes are benefiting the American people. Roads, bridges, parks, fire departments, police departments, social security, and Medicare. Conservative means never asking how or why.

Without taxes, it would be harder for politicians to enrich themselves with your money.

we didn't have subways b4 1913 the roads were made of dirt. We took horses everywhere we went bc there was no need for gas. We did not have all those branches of military either. They still got paid bc of taxes

Back then, almost all the US government's money came from tarriffs. Then progressives in both parties came up with income taxes in the form of the 16th Amendment. It must have seemed like a good idea at the time.

Jekyll Island. Start there. A secret meeting took place on Jekyll Island in November 1910 involving a small group of influential bankers and policymakers, whose discussions eventually led to the creation of the Federal Reserve System. The group included Senator Nelson Aldrich and representatives from major financial institutions such as J.P. Morgan and Rockefeller interests. To avoid public and press scrutiny, they disguised the meeting as a duck-hunting trip.

that's odd, that is the exact year the federal reserve was created and the federal reserve act which gives the federal reserve immunity from audit. the federal reserve has nothing to do with the fed government and they have been enslaving and robbing Americans for decades.

The money keeps flowing towards the rich. Once the money finally stops flowing upward the country will collapse. Greed destroys nation's.

Back then 97% of the population were working by the age of 12 if not sooner Everything was relative to income and only 1% bought things they really didn’t need. The industrial age was just starting and WW1 was just ahead. No welfare programs to create a class of lazy nothings and no freebies handed out by the low class D’rats just to buy votes.

We also had meatpacking plants with rat feces mixed into hot dogs by 14 year olds, banks that would crash and take all of your savings, and hobos riding the rails. Our military budget was less than what we spent on railroad subsides and we had 250k people homeless after the great flood. The 16th amendment was to take us from a 3rd world nation to be able to compete with the 1st world countries of Europe. You want no income taxes- plenty of 3rd world countries to choose from

Extorted? FDR sold the US citizens into slavery. It's called the Federal Income tax. It did not exist before FDR. He went to the Rothchilds Bank(Now the Federal Reserve) for a loan to get the US back out of Bankruptcy. The bankruptcy still exists in the form of a Federal Deficit and to pay the loan back it's called Federal Income tax. Don't pay it and see what the "slave owners" have to say about it. Slavery because we are not paid a United States Constitutional "legal currency" such as gold or silver and being handed "promissory" noted called "dollar bills."
