Isn't OUR money, not theIRS?

Question

Answer 1

I agree. But a more... passionate argument arises if you consider it as *time* rather than *money*.

Consider this. Suppose 2/5th of your income is taken by the IRS to fund stupid programs (e.g., medicaid, food stamps). In essence, you could otherwise have a lifetime of four-day weekends in addition to all of your current holidays, were it not for the IRS enslaving you on Thursday and Friday so that they may graciously let you take home a paycheck for working Monday through Wednesday.

We did fine until 1910's without an income tax, and thereafter did sort-of-fine until the 1930's when FDR turned it into a confiscatory income tax to fund a bunch of socialist programs. I'd be just fine with wiping out all of the legislation of the last hundred years and starting from what was on the books in 1907.

Answer 2

Yes, it's our money - something that the IRS and our elected officials don't seem to understand. Politicians should respect the fact that they're pis*ing away OUR money! It's shameful. -RKO- 12/01/07

Answer 3

Well, its all your money. But the IRS stakes their claim before you even get your pay check. If they take too much they'll keep it till about May of the next year.

Answer 4

Of course it is our money. But unless you want to spend all your time trying to figure out how best to collect taxes to support schools, roads, police, fire departments etc., we need an organization to collect the money.

Answer 5

if the IRS did not collect taxes, we would not have semi-decent roads, or working traffic lights, or good education, or medicare or medicaid or foodstamps....we need to give up a portion of what we make for the better good of the nation...a little bit of everyone's money means we can build a road....or fund a child's education...

sorry...it is our money....but we need to give our money away to help out the country
