Quote - So as not to post your entire reply: I agree 100%. ;)  Yes, it wasn't the rich/businesses who caused the mess.  It was obviously the government and its nearly autonomous IRS (which should be dissolved asap).  There are many that feel that the act that created revenue taxation was un-Constitutional to begin with - and on some of the same principles you mentioned (such as giving the government too much control and autonomy separate from the people - we the people).

We agree.

I believe that everyone needs to abide by the law regarding taxes as it currently stands.  But I also believe that we need to fight to change that law, as difficult and as unpopular with many as a fight like that is going to be.......unpopular with many who have their hand in the till.

Business owners, of all people, know just how tough the current tax system makes things.......and I fear that it's going to get worse before (if) it ever gets better.  So long as enough people are willing to trade their personal liberty in exchange for an illusion of personal security & personal ease -- then those same people are perfectly willing to enter into a mephistophelian bargain with their favorite Congressman.

The price, of course, of such a bargain being the soul of a nation.
