United States Slaves...

After the U.S. Constitution was formed, there was no provision for a national tax. (Toady it is the Income Tax). When Thomas Payne was asked why no tax he said,"When the government directly taxes it's citizens, they become slaves to the government for the rest of their lives."

When the "temporary income tax", during WWII was created it stayed on the books and became law. There fore, Thomas Payne's greatest fear became true, We are slaves to the government and will continue to be so unless something is done about the IRS.
