You know this country was founded by a revolution started essentially over taxes right?
Did you also know that it wasn't until WW 1 that the federal gov't even had the ability to levy income taxes against individuals? I still say that if we did a true constitutional review. Got rid of every law and agency not in it, and limited our gov't to just what it contains, we would be able to subsist (the gov't) on tariffs and other non-income taxes. -----Original Message----- From: Vivec [mailto:gel21...@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, April 17, 2010 10:58 AM To: cf-community Subject: Tea Party tax protestors amuse Obama http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20002677-503544.html "The president went over the laundry list of tax cuts instituted in Washington over the past year. "In all, we passed 25 different tax cuts last year. And one thing we haven't done is raise income taxes on families making less than $250,000 a year -- another promise that we kept," he told supporters at the Arsht Center for the Performing Arts. "So I've been a little amused over the last couple of days where people have been having these rallies about taxes. You would think they would be saying thank you." The tide of craziness that seems to be sweeping America is incredible. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
