I am one of them because I actually took the time to learn how to do my own taxes after being taught by having a competent professional do my tax returns for several years. The $425.00 per return over 5 years for a total of $1,100 dollars was a great price for a REAL EDUCATION on how we are getting screwed by the Tax code.

While I do beilieve in taxes, the way it is implemented is designed in such a way that would suit Bernie Madoff due to the built in complexity of the tax code. What better way to pull the wool over the uneducated worker drones than by obfuscation and faux complexity which chases it's tail like a rabid dog.

I challenge anyone to take 1 hour and skim trough the Tax Code and see if you can make any sense of it. You will end up with a very good headache, I guarantee it. You will most likely become enraged when you stumble upon giveaways to major Corporations. It would take a lifetime to fully understand the Gobbledeegook that is presented as Tax Law, but by then, you would probably be looking for a way out of the system that forces you in through fear, subterfuge, and self preservation instead of reality.

For example, the only real reason anyone must file a return is simply to retrieve what was witheld from your wages over the year. If you find that the Governemnt owes you money back, and that sum is considerable enough to motivate you, then of course everyone will run, not walk to file their return. Of course, they don't realize that the return is a Legal document, subject to penalties of perjury and incarceration, and lets the Government see exactly how your money is being spent, how it is invested, grants a picture of your detailed holdings of assets and liabilities, all for a few measly scraps of paper called fiat money, which is printed out of thin air and based on nothing but more debt.

Nobody asks if the money witheld from your wages even exists in the first place! WHen a company generates a paycheck, from where do these supposed witholdings come from, and how are they transferred to the IRS? Most likely, it is packaged and sold as a Collaterallized Debt Obligation (CDO) against the US Goverment and sold to investors! It is also probable that the Corporations themselves are part and parcel of this mechanism, as it appears that they are given favorable terms in order to enforce the withholding feedback loop to condition the masses to file a return.

The trick on us is that when you work for a Company, they have built in a self reinforcing loop that augments the myth that you must file a tax return. It's true that you must file to get a return, but do you really think the Government will come after you to force you to take a refund if you choose not to file? They may, but it's highly unlikely, since the Government has a habit of not telling us where the money goes, and having the balls to announce Billions of dollars in misplaced funds. Whoops..

Years ago, I gave up on working for anyone but myself. I still play plenty of taxes every day. Taxes on fuels, roads, food, seed, tools, equipment, telecommunications, Property Tax. However, I pay myself in good food, clean water, flexible work hours, a comfortable debt free place to live and work, and have no need for the rat race which is designed as nothing more than a wealth transfer mechanism.

With the technology we have today, and the ability for Robots to manufacture just about anything we can desire, the general population should be basking in semi retirement and focusing on the Arts, Hobbies, Invention, Higher Education and things that they love. The economic models of the Industrial age are shifting to automation, yet the Oligarch are clinging to Industrial model for the masses, while at the same they dismantle it here in America and move it abroad. The American people, knowing no other way than praying at the altar of fiat money to provide happiness for them, are dazed and confused when the normal vehicles of obtaining moiney are scrapped, one by one until they realize there is nothing else.

Taxes are a good thing, but they need to be accountable to the wishes of the people that pay them, and not the Oligarchs that wipe their asses with toilet paper made from the skins of baby seals.

I refuse to re-enter the workforce while we spend inordinate amounts of money on the War machine, in order to defend the poisonous oil industry, while education and social services for the elderly and infirm are slashed.

The video just relates what any awakened person already knows, and I'm not surprised that the majority of the citizenry refuses to do a little research into the matter and verify it themselves.

When they do, I believe that we will truly see meaningful passive resistance to the WeSaySo Corporation of America.
