The income tax is like paying for magazine subscriptions.
No matter how much you send in, in doesn't REALLY pay for anything. Magazines are not supported by the subscription revenues ... in fact, all magazines and newspapers could be given away free with no perceptible change in the level of profit (which is generated through advertising).
Same goes for the running of the gov't. Taxes don't pay for the govt. The fear of what might happen for not paying taxes keep the people under control. The money the gov't really runs on is created out of thin air by the Federal Reserve.
That being said ... did mine. Way earlier than usual (I phoned in the state and federal last thursday, mailed the locals yesterday.)
So, radar, are you going to take a stand for the little guy, join the tax freedom movement, and refuse to file from now on? Let us know how it works out for you.
