Stop giving money and power to government, by not paying illegal income taxes.

E Archer, NYC

Absolutely.

Ken, Allyn, WA

Might as well give whiskey and car keys to teen age boys. They're gonna get them one way or another anyway. Not really, but that is the attitude most people have toward taxes and government.

We agree, having been defrauded of all we worked a lifetime by officials of the out of control government, see our web site-at http://users3.ev1.net/~vjg/ -- why we must call government for what it really is, AMERICAN HOLOCAUST. This is the only way we can save our dear country from domestic terrests. Yours truly, Vincent and Sophie Germano

Or like having an alcoholic guarding a liquor store.

E Archer, NYC

Granting power to government that the people themselves do not have to give is the corruption. Ignoring the republican principles upon which the nation is founded has allowed the government to claim powers to steal, imprison, and kill arbitrarily without accountability or consequences.
