A very interesting article Adconner...yes Taxation is a payment for a debt...but who created the debt? Where did the debt come from? Who is it owed to? Well, in the end the debt is owed to the families who own the Federal Reserve and in the UK, the Bank of England....these families have coerced our government's into getting into this debt, mostly through wars, which they have used to enrich themselves at the expense of the people. Most of the money we pay in taxes are being used to pay off the absurd levels of interest that the governments are paying to these private reserve banks....and combined with the stealth tax that is inflation, the middle and working classes are becoming poorer....I really believe that we need to ditch the Fed and the BoE, and let the government print their own money backed by gold, or even use bitcoin as a currency....mind you, it would take a brave politician to do that, especially when the last two to try that were Kennedy and Lincoln...look what happened to them!
