Taxation is Slavery
"The Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution, ratified, Dec 6, 1865, ended
slavery in the United States, however the 16th Amendment, Ratified Feb, 3,
1913, or the Income Tax, started it right back up again", said Donna Mancini,
Chairman of the Libertarian Party of Ky. Taxation of Income rivals
involuntary servitude.
"The income tax is by far the most destructive and unfair of all forms of
taxation, because it punishes success and rewards failure. Government should
be funded with user fees and voluntary contributions. The income tax, by giving
the federal government " unlimited" amounts of tax dollars ,allowed the entry
of the of the present day massive welfare/ warfare state, we have
unfortunately become, states Mancini. Government takes wealth from the
producers and gives it to people who produce nothing. Government itself produces
nothing, and can only stifle productivity by stealing from the creative or
private sector and funding the state machine, which redistributes the booty
to the friends and associates of whatever political or group is currently
in power.
The system is disgusting and morally repugnant states Mancini. .
Taxation is basically Legalized theft, and Libertarians generally oppose
taxation, except for stringently limited purposes as envisioned by the
Founders. " If we as individuals went to our neighbor and demanded his money
or property , stating that he had more than he needed, and should SHARE it
with the community, at gunpoint if he would not co-operate, WE would be put
in jail !! Why is it OK for Government to Forcefully Take money from the
person who EARNS it and Give it to someone who does not?
In his First Inaugural address in 1801, Thomas Jefferson is quoted:
" A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one
another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits
of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the
bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."
AMEN, President Jefferson !!!
The Libertarian Party supports the traditional concepts of individual liberty,
personal responsibility, and limited government America was founded upon.
Without economic freedom, no other form of personal freedom is possible in
reality.
Freedom Works!
