Eps 423 - April 15th is Confession Day for American Citizens!

"Taxation is theft" is not just something people say to shock their fellow citizens. It's an argument put forth by liberty loving people that is logically rooted in property rights, the foundation of ALL individual rights. Unfortunately, from the very moment of the founding of this once great union, there has been a counter-revolutionary power at work to centralize the federal nature of our government to make it a republic in the way France is a republic. Direct taxation is an afront to the existence of individual liberty, however we have become accustomed to living with it and accepting it as part of the republic's existence. There is NO reasonable argument that involves the concept of liberty that leads to an understanding of why a national (far away) government would need to have a close financial relationship with its citizens other than that of the need to extort them at the expense of their individual liberty, property (economic freedom). Confession Day comes from the concept that we ALL violate our own 5th Amendment protection against self-incrimination by voluntarily giving incriminating evidence about our finances that could lead to our prosecution if we became a target of the Federal Government.
