The way it should
be: Taxes
Whenever I hear the word taxman, I involuntarily conjure
up a vision of a peasant - me - sagging under the realization
that the approaching horsemen are the Taxman and his entourage.
Real
freedom will not occur until people (including small business
people) are no longer personally responsible for paying taxes.
Sure the Government needs to collect taxes, but they
should find another way to do it, a way that does not include
you and I personally.
Freedom from the taxman is the last frontier in the fight
for personal liberty.
The
solution is really quite simple: Collect taxes from the
manufacturers (and utilities like telecommunications companies,
and alike) and importers.
Of
course they’ll pass it on to us, but the point isn’t
eliminating the funding of the government; it’s freeing people
form the fear and burden of personal tax responsibility, and
let’s not forget the temptation to cheat.
Ah,
no more relevance to the date April 15; no more trying to decide
if this is the year that you can deduct the cost of your home
office (sure you actually have a legitimate home office, but
Harry, whose cousin knows a women, whose husband’s barber’s
neighbor’s son heard from a guy at work, that someone he knows
told him that they heard that this year the IRS has red-flagged
home office deductions, so even if you actually have one,
don’t use that deduction.
Yes, anything, even over paying ones taxes, is worth
never having to hear the words, “Honey, it’s the IRS at the
door.”
