The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) should properly be called the Federal
Extortion Bureau (FEB): If you and I went up to a stranger on the street and
said "Give us 30% of your income, or we're going to lock you away in a little
room," we would go to jail for extortion. By going to the IRS and getting a
job, we can do exactly the same thing, and the person is expected to pay any
demand we make on them. What's the difference?
What does the Unites States government do with the money it gets through the
collection efforts of its hired thugs? Whatever it wants to!
and there really isn't much you or I could do about it. If you say "I don't
want my taxes spent on [some program]," do you think that program's budget is
reduced by what would have been your contribution? Well, it isn't: They just
take the same amount, only from someone else's taxes: You have NO
CONTROL over how "your tax dollars" are being spent in this country - even
when you have fundamental philosophical differences with the economic and/or
social programs that are being implemented with them.

information about a specific page, such as this one, I will attend to it
sooner than I otherwise might.
Among the things I will be adding:
