That amount would merely pay the annual INTEREST payment on the Federal Debt. Those that say paying the Federal Income Tax funds America, is not true. It doesn't. If the Federal Government was never given this amount for Congress to waste, we wouldn't have the gloated overspending Federal Government hellbent on global domination that we have. In the middle east several countries were going to create the Gulf Monetary Union and cease accepting the US dollar for oil. Somebody just paid off Saudi Arabia's debt and now the Gulf Monetary Union looks like it won't be formed. Guess who paid off their debt? Us saps likely. Prior to 'Free Trade' we used to tariff imports which funded the Federal Government and ensured American's could compete against slave labor places like China where wages are lower. When they got rid of that source of Federal Revenue that when our economy went sour with insufficient revenue to fund our Federal Government. Now they must use the printing press to fund the Federal Government since no country will loan us money anymore. Our standard of living has been destroyed and we can no longer find jobs. Federal Revenue from Federal Income Tax will continue to drop until 1-2 more years when it won't even be enough to fund the annual INTEREST payment on the Federal debt. - Jofas Sun, 28 Feb 2010 06:42:03 +0100 http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/crime/2985-why-texas-pilot-committed-suicide-against-irs#comment-9698 I'm wondering when the disgruntled 55 year olds who make up that 60% bankrupt rate due to medical bills, with no decent retirement plans living in their children's basements, start to act out their more legitimate anger at the rest of us societal apologists. - Titus Tue, 23 Feb 2010 03:54:53 +0100 http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/crime/2985-why-texas-pilot-committed-suicide-against-irs#comment-9686 Look great with the latest jeans, checkout the jean-jeans range online today.The personal data provided by filling in this form will be registered on the jean-jeans.com . - http://www.jean-jeans.com/ Mon, 22 Feb 2010 19:18:21 +0100 http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/crime/2985-why-texas-pilot-committed-suicide-against-irs#comment-9606 If we don't pay taxes, America ceases to exist. They have to pay for everything somehow. Military. Roads. Police. Water. Waste management. All those hours on C-Span ... However, that does not justify huge tax rates. Nor does it justify excessive government spending (except for the C-Span thing). We need fiscal responsibility by "our representatives." We the people. We hope. Personally, I would like to see a flat tax. Take 13% out of our pay. No tax returns to file. The IRS could shrink to an appropriate size. No more worries about the Ides of April. No more concerns about people defaulting on their taxes. Alas, to dream ... - Jon Sun, 21 Feb 2010 18:55:55 +0100 http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/crime/2985-why-texas-pilot-committed-suicide-against-irs#comment-9595 Tinkie rings, You stated: "The whole point is that such books will lead good people to be on the wrong side of the assumed legitimate IRS laws" I strongly disagree with you. There is ACCURATE information out there. Read about Vernice Kuglin and Tommy Cryer online. Google their names. No need to "change the laws", there is nothing wrong with it. - Brett Sun, 21 Feb 2010 12:43:19 +0100 http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/crime/2985-why-texas-pilot-committed-suicide-against-irs#comment-9569 A man commiting suicide over losing everything he spent his life gaining. But killing even one other, not to mention the the destruction of a building makes him a criminal. You can call him a terrorist or worse, but he was desperate and felt he needed to send a message. which he did. Joe should have walked out to the plains of Texas and killed himself. He would be labeled a hero now not a terrorist or a "desperato" of even more to come. Save my house from the bank, but take my small company that is my life, liveyhood and living. " Isn't there something in the constitution about that. - Damoe Sat, 20 Feb 2010 12:09:09 +0100 http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/crime/2985-why-texas-pilot-committed-suicide-against-irs#comment-9568 Tom, Thank you for re-addressing this problem and exposing the foolishness of "doing it the hard way" While I sympathize with the unfortunate Stack, he like many others ran down the wrong street and met frustration.In the long run it takes more courage and toughness to do things the correct and Constitutional way than any "quick fix" can. - L. Terzi Sat, 20 Feb 2010 12:08:45 +0100 http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/crime/2985-why-texas-pilot-committed-suicide-against-irs#comment-9566 The Suicide note can be used by many sinister people with alterior motives. If another isolated attack occurs, the government can claim that the notes appeal for violent action is taking affect, thus giving the Government the excuse to shut down society. The writer of the note played both sides of the fence by attacking big government, then big business, then reciting the communist creed. This can be used by an oppresive homeland security to be used to justify attacks or support of any side: ie: claim the tea party people are violent, claim the Obama communist are violent, etc, etc. The result will be the same: Less Freedom, more 1984 Big Brother. If we follow the new Glenn Beck playbook, of being a nice middle of the road sheeple, we are doomed. However, any law breaking action will result in the same bad end. We must continue to push all truth in proper legal framework, while our constitutional framework still exists. - Thomas Paine Sat, 20 Feb 2010 10:17:41 +0100 http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/crime/2985-why-texas-pilot-committed-suicide-against-irs#comment-9554 The really sad part of this tale is governmental policy is implemented by low-level clerks following department policy. When the Law as written conflicts with department policy the clerks will always implement department policy despite the written law. They have to. If they don't they will be disciplined by the system. The low level clerks have no authority to overrule department policy and less reason to do so. That way the system is rigged in favor of the government despite the written law. Joe Stack's error was to go head to head with the IRS. In that sort of battle the IRS will win every time. - Dixie Pixie Sat, 20 Feb 2010 05:13:19 +0100 http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/crime/2985-why-texas-pilot-committed-suicide-against-irs#comment-9531 I must disagree with attempting to promote Otto Skinner's book. The whole point is that such books will lead good people to be on the wrong side of the assumed legitimate IRS laws. I am not quibbling about the validity of their points, but who has the ability to force your compliance? If the IRS men have the guns and resources, then even if they are in the wrong, they can make you comply or make your life miserable in the process. In order to avoid paying the personal income tax, we must have the rest of the nation believing that it is not required. Your fellow man would have to share this view for it to be successful. Otherwise, even if you were absolutely correct, it wouldn't matter as they led you away in cuffs or confiscated your property. Let's change the laws. - Mikey Pinkie-rings Fri, 19 Feb 2010 13:11:15 +0100 http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/crime/2985-why-texas-pilot-committed-suicide-against-irs#comment-9529 Amazon.com Read "The Best Kept Secret" by Otto Skinner - Brett Fri, 19 Feb 2010 12:34:16 +0100
