Home of the Brave



Spent three hours preparing documentation trying to convince the IRS that I didn't owe an additional $6,000 from 2004.

The federal income tax is only 100 years old, yet we take it for granted that the government has the right to scrutinize every economic endeavor that we partake in, to take their "rightful" share . You have to wonder how our Founding Fathers would have reacted to this intrusion into our internal privacy. It's not exactly a tax on tea.

I love this country. It is truly the "Home of the Brave", but not sure that it is still the "Land of the Free".

The politicians don't just want your money. They want your soul. They want you to be worn down by taxes until you are dependent and helpless. When you subsidize poverty and failure, you get more of both.
