No FED, No IRS

fantastic short history!
and what a tragedy!
Do you think there will ever be a chance for making over the IRS?
Neal Boortz and Linder seem to think they can get some action on the Fair Tax.
I forget the one who is pushing the Flat Tax.
I have the feeling that if we had a dictator who could just turn it over with a stroke it might be done.
With a Congress of politicians, some of whom never read a whole bill, and many of whom don't have the brains to understand the complexities of a bill if they do read it, it seems hopeless.
That doesn't take into account of how it would be against their own interests to make anything simple.
I didn't see if this is a featured post but it should be.

Thanks, Emjayne.

We have a political monopoly, which is just as bad as a dictatorship. THEY decided we needed an income tax, even though it was diametrically opposed to the idea of freedom. THEY decided we needed fiat monies, and a system of credit based on nothing. We the People haven't been allowed to make any decisions, other than to choose between Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb each election cycle.

If someone doesn't believe this, they need only watch what happens at the state GOP and Democrat conventions. Just last weekend in Nevada, the GOP party hacks subverted the will of the people by attempting to appoint delegates to the national convention after the caucus-goers already voted for delegates. When those elected delegates attempted to turn the state party platform back towards traditional conservative values, the chairman ended the convention and was whisked away by security.

The Democratic convention promises to be even worse. 'Superdelegates' will probably cast the deciding votes to select the Dem nominee. The choice of the public will be made irrelevant.

At the state and local levels, the same thing happens. If you don't follow the good ole' boy line, you don't get the support of the party. If you grease the right palms, or schmooze the right person, you get the support, no matter what qualifications you do or don't have. That's why functionally illiterate people sit in congress.

Congress is all bout self-interest. The will of the people doesn't matter. They will appease any strong dissent, but only if it's within the will of the money brokers. Very few congressmen, and no career politicians, will ever stick their necks out and go against the will of the money-men to impose the will of the people.

I believe every word of that. and what a sickening state of affairs. I envy all those people who just go about their business and never think about politics or what is going on in the country. It must be nice to be blind and deaf in that area. I know I would be a lot less frustrated if I could shut it off.
Of course the reason it goes on is just because the majority of people don't know and don't care.
I think I will dig a pit and just get into the bottom of it. :-)) At least take a year or two off!

The roles of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, and the Bilderberg Group in what has gone on behind the scenes regarding the fed, the IRS, media control, and possibly even the starting of wars would make an interesting history for someone to write. It would take a while to ferret out the truth, and if it is written about the author would be called a nutty conspiracy theorist.
