April 24th is Tax Freedom Day, days after the dreaded April 15th tax
burden day executed by the infamous IRS. Republicans are sending out
email with a questionnaire and a general poll that claims they are
for “tax reform” - without any specifics as to how and when it
will be implemented. This year the government (federal, state, and
local), will take 114 days of your labor to pay into the income tax system. The slick
tax system promises a 'return' in the early part of the next year –
some will get most of it back, some will get all of it back, and
others will pay for both. It is forced income redistribution at its
best.
The income tax code was created in 1913
with 400 pages. By 1984 in increased to 26,000 pages, tripling in
size between then and now. It is the most heinous scam every devised
by a government. Obamacare alone caused 3,300 pages to be added,
which now amounts to 74,000 pages of bureaucratic mumbo jumbo that
even IRS staff cannot fully fathom.
Jeff Crouere wrote
at Townhall that 94% of Americans need professional assistance
in completing their tax return.
According to the National Taxpayers Union Foundation, Americans spend $32 billion
to prepare complicated tax forms and waste 6.1 billion hours each
year. The loss in productivity and cost of implementation of
the draconian tax system is $234 billion.
About 119 million Americans are working
and they are seeing that their wages do not match close enough to the
cost-of-living, and some suffer reduced hours because of the economy
that Obama promised to fix in 2008 (and falsely bragged it was better
in 2012). In order to make ends meet, both parents must work and
about 6.7 million must work more than one job.
Obama brags that the unemployment rate
is at 5.5%, but that is a percentage of illusion because the amount
of people who have left the workforce makes the total of 93 million
Americans not employed, which is a labor force of only 62.7%. This
makes the labor force to pay even more of the share of taxation and
why the Obama Crime Family continues to seek avenues of approach for
new taxes – many that are transparent or given another name.
The estate tax that the House has
approved to repeal currently taxes estates at 40%. Democrats continue
their lie that it only hurts the wealthy – people they claim they
despise, but whose elite political establishment is part of, like
Hillary and Bill Clinton. Small businesses run by families have and
are falling by the way and/or unable to employ more Americans because
of the unfair and cruel estate tax.
The entire income tax system is unfair,
cruel, intrusive and unconstitutional. It is a direct tax against
what the American people earn and it constitutes a system of multiple
taxation and so-called fees.
Even the proposed system offered by
Senator Ted Cruz (TX) is second best to the repeal of the 16th
Amendment and instituting a consumption only tax system at a flat
rate: close down the IRS and allow Americans to complete their tax
forms on a postcard. That alone would boost the economy and bring
heart and ability of investors to invest more.
“No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.”... Samuel Adams
Yup. I have always done our taxes. Prior to 2012, pretty much every year we had to pay in, as our boys one by one, became too old to count, even though they lived at home.
ReplyDeleteIn 2012, we retired and moved and found someone to do our taxes for a very reasonable amount. Last year, and this year, we finally got some of our money back.
And two of our boys are living with us again because they can't find work.
As annoying as taxes are, what annoys me is the double taxing. When we get a refund, and then THAT money is taxed as income next year.
I had hoped for change after the Republicans were given control of both houses. They showed their arses to us all and have done nothing worthy of our loyalty.
I quite frankly don't expect that any candidate for President next year will actually change or be able to change anything. I just know I don't want another bleeding muslim communist in office.
Thanks for standing strong. God bless you and your family.
