    Thank you for breaking it down and defining all the terms. What makes me furious is that we are taxed left and right - seems limitless. But there still isn’t enough for the government to purchase crayons for children in public schools? Taxes increase and education funds decrease. Makes me sick to my stomach.

      Honestly. The reason is because unfortunately most taxes go to the military and to rich people and corporations in tax cuts, so that means poor and middle class people have to pay more to make up for the money lost, when taxes really should go into education, infrastructure, and innovations, but it is what it is 😪

    Governments spend by crediting bank accounts, creating currency in the process. Governments tax by debiting bank accounts. Taxes remove or delete some of the currency they previously created. So taxes cannot “give” the government “money” to spend; rather government spending actually gives us its currency so we can later pay our taxes. We have it backward.

    Should say that in 1913 the American government abrogated it's social contract with American citizens by violating the simple and obvious intolerance of a personal income tax written into the law of the land our U.S.A Constitution.
    The USA government does not have the authority of responsibility delegated from citizens to run as a business, meaning it cannot Constitutionally rent or manage or otherwise profit from land or valuables it comes into possession of, those are to be held in public trust (used for a legitimate public purpose) or sold to citizens. A far cry from subsidizing foreign ownership of property, like the abrogated government usurpers.

    Federal income tax was enacted at the same time as the federal reserve. The federal reserve is a private bank (drafted by the richest bankers in the world at the time, Rockefeller, Morgan, Rothschild, etc) and took Congress’s power of coin. One of the fed’s goal was to loan large amounts of money to the government, and the income tax was imposed as they needed to guarantee return on interest and profit off the American people. The Fed is responsible for inflation (hidden tax), which was nonexistent before this time since the 1600s, as well as many manipulations (war involvement as wars cost money), interest rates, depressions, stock market trends, etc. Woodrow Wilson, the president at the time, had well known and strong ties to the Rockefeller’s, as did many in Congress (Aldrich). Just remember that when you’re thinking Democrat vs Republican...the bank always wins. You never hear about it because those same families own the media. Between 2007-2010 the fed gave Wall Street banks (themselves) $29 trillion dollars. Just spreading the word.

    This woman is dead wrong but you would never know it unless you research the tax laws. Here is how simple it is to know whether you are an official taxpayer to the government. The IRS uses a tax guide known as document # 6209 of the IRM ( Internal Revenue Manual ).
    In this document you will see that tax forms W-2, W-4, W-2G, 1099, are class 5 gift taxes. You are voluntarily giving your hard earned money to the government voluntarily. There's more to know which proves you are not a debtor to the federal income tax.

    it’s not fair taxation, how can people be so ignorant, let’s say I make 100k a year, and pay 30% flat-rate income tax so 30k a year, big corp earns 100million per year and they pay the same rate 30%, that’s 30 MILLION they pay. That would be fair taxation. But then wait if you increase this to let’s say 60% for people over that amount, now they have to recoup lost income somehow, so they raise prices for their customers through the ROOF, and everyone at the bottom to the middle now makes less, while the government pockets it all, do you really think the more taxes the government takes that they will just shower the poor in wealth, NO. ONLY, the government benefits from it. And they spend MORE. I’m just dumbfounded, at the stupidity, of people in this country.
