Government uses our money for personal use

• Wants not Needs• “It doesn’t matter that the government has taken complete control over

the monetary system….collects taxes in the form of US dollars and spends dollars to buy the things they want.” (why do governments need to tax)

• Personal Expenses• “The total cost to taxpayers of Obama’s vacations to Hawaii since

becoming President is likely in excess of $20 million and possibly much, much more.” (Koffler 01/04/13)

Government wrong doing• Consequences of not paying taxes• “I have paid no poll-tax for six years. I was put in jail once on this account.”

(Thoreau pg.7 Civil Disobedience)

• Bankruptcy• “Dozens of citizens told horror stories about bankruptcy brought on by

wrongful IRS actions, or wrongful incarceration for ‘nonpayment’ of taxes.” (Income Tax and the Internal Revenue Service)

Conclusion

• People should have a say-so in how the Government should tax the people. The Constitution states that Government is ran from State level to Federal level.
