The implementation has required the excesses of The Internal Revenue Service which has become the single most feared agency of The United States of America, more feared by the average citizen than the F.B.I. and C.I.A. combined. It is time to reassess the validity of income taxes. They are number two on Karl Marx's agenda for the communization of society in The Communist Manifesto. They are therefore un-American. With slavery, one person expropriates all of another person's earnings. When income taxes take a certain percentage of a person's income, that person is that percentage enslaved by definition whether it be by the government or by an individual. There is no escaping that conclusion. Due to their nature, income taxes require the invasion and examination of every facet of our lives. Economic value can be assigned to virtually any action that a human being takes. These actions, in turn, have potential economic value for which a tax assessment can be made. This is not a false alarm. The Internal Revenue Service threatened that it would tax the fan who caught Mark McGuire's 62nd home run ball. I conclude, as I think any citizen would, that similar lower profile incidents have occurred. The costs of compliance with the income tax system are enormous. Directly and indirectly, it diverts the resources and energies of our people from their true duties, the solution of their day to day problems and the betterment of life for themselves and their families. These simple duties have resulted in The United States becoming the greatest nation in the world. This has been not simply because of our abundant natural resources, which are many, but because of the freedom of its people to pursue their own happiness as advocated by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence. Nothing can compare with freedom for the betterment of mankind and no nation has had the tradition of freedom that The United States embodies. As a result, we are the world leader in industry, the arts, sciences and sports. Without the distractions and the burdens of this horrible income tax system, there is no telling what our people would accomplish for themselves, their countrymen and the rest of the world. The average citizen, increasingly, sees government as remote and responsive only to the interests of the various "National Associations." Whether it is Big Education, Big Business, Big Labor, Big Welfare or Big Medicine, the sense is that the federal government hears only the complaints and requests of the organized. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the massive tax code where incentives for various investments and behaviors are rewarded or discouraged at the whim of the government. There is a reservoir of resentment for government, its costs and the resultant taxes which is building in this country. It must be tapped or it may burst. If it bursts, it could mean violence as we have seen with Timothy McVeigh or the emergence of a demagogue such as Adolf Hitler or Josip Stalin. The income tax is an assault upon the very foundation of this nation. It has within it, the implication for the reduction of mankind's soul to a completely economic entity. This is precisely the Marxist view of our existence and the antithesis of our founding doctrines. Prosperity is not now nor has it ever been the goal of this nation. The goal of this nation has always been the assertion, defense and furtherance of mankind's freedom through the dignity which has been bestowed by a Creator who guides us in decency. Prosperity is the inevitable result but not the goal. The Sixteenth Amendment to The United States Constitution is an affront to all of this and must be repealed. I urge you to act before it is too late. Thank you. Roderick T.
