I would defy anyone that can legitimately show any law in the Internal Revenue Code that says the "average" American is subject to an income tax. There isn't one.
Also to prove that a 1040 form is other than a "Virgin Resident Income Tax Form." When you sign such a form under penalty of perjury you are committing perjury by the very act of signing.
The IRS is the largest group of organized criminals ever and I can't even find where they are a legitimate federal agency or even part of the Treasury Department. They hide under cover of Treasury.
Americans need to study the Constitution and the Federalist Papers to understand what the founders intended and the true meaning of the words they used.
If the government got out of the welfare business and were only offering essential services (ok - loaded word, we'd have to discuss exactly what this is), we would the majority of the time be paying a user fee for services that would be equal to all, regardless of income.
For example, when I want to mail a letter, they don't determine that my fair price of a stamp is based on how much I make an hour.
Government services (and therefore taxes) would be fairest of all if they were only paid by the people receiving the service, on a flat-rate fee basis.
The whole problem with the fair share arguments is the people making them are completely convinced that "what the government is involved in" is necessary, and the only problem here is to figure out how to pay for it. It would be far fairer to say "who asked you to do that, anyway?", scrap the programs, and reduce government to the point where fee-for-service covers most of it. And in the process of doing this, we'd find I think that private enterprises would do those jobs at lower fees and put the govt out of those jobs.
If the government got out of the welfare business? Welfare is big "business" for big government. But if I bite on that principle, the Government should purge all moochers because they have nothing of value to Loot. Welfare is stupid. Stop zoning free enterprise out of existence. Encourage cottage/garage businesses if only to tax them into slavery for the mire thought of attempting capitalism.
They just need to make us all Postal workers by executive order. Ban us from striking and give us cradle to grave security and safety..Then we will all be Government Employees making an average $74,000 rather then the current household average of $50,034. I could do with a raise. I think the proletariat should get another $100,000 to match the ruling Congressional class at $178,00/year right Comrades? Since spending other peoples money is good, we can just keep voting ourselves raises and vacations. We can push for mandatory email and a 2hr work weeks, we have to conserve resources since there won't be anything but former farmers, oil workers or truckers, having all been conscripted to the Postal Service. cadre (Oh ya the new uniform SHORT PANTS and Hawaiian shirts and pink barrettes). (Please don't get upset unless it happens... that was sarcasm or "inflammatory hate speech")
I'm all for sharing if that entails EVERYONE producing (whether that be goods or services) in equal measure - but that will only be the case in an idealized world, one free of the millions of lazy, entitled, irresponsible people that currently infiltrate our world.
