Re: Fair Tax?

The virtue of my being in this country does not, in any way, mean that I give my consent to be taxed. Taxation was illegitimate when it began, and it is ilegetimate now. If I choose to live in a high crime area, this is no way means that I am giving my consent to be robbed.

Do you think that the income tax is voulantary. After all, you could avoid paying it by never working...
