A VERY TAXING PROCESS
After fighting what I believed was an unconstitutional federal income tax, six years ago I capitulated, filed returns, and have since then, paid $120,054 in combined state and federal income taxes (including the interest and penalties). At the time, I was also working toward a settlement with the IRS. What derailed this settlement process was becoming a target for an audit. My experiences provide a case study of why we need to get rid of the income tax on wages and salaries.

TAX REFORM FOR IDAHO
ll of us have probably heard that saying "Tuition is expensive in the school of hard knocks.” It is. But it is there that the lessons of life can be best remembered and applied toward future solutions. It is my "school of hard knocks” lessons that compel me to continue working toward tax reform. I believe we need a tax system that raises the revenue we need for the proper functions of government, yet allows Idaho citizens the freedom to pursue their creativity and entrepreneurial ideas without penalizing success and getting bogged down with regulation.

UNFORTUNATELY, ARIZONA DOES NOT HAVE IT RIGHT PART 1 of 2
There is no question that the citizens of Arizona, like the citizens of all of the southern border states, face grave and outrageous dangers from the invasion of illegals rushing across the borders. Private property is being destroyed; crime is skyrocketing; costs for schools and hospitals is forcing bankruptcy on local communities; and violence is becoming a way of life. No American, living in a nation where rights are supposed to be protected and guaranteed, should be forced to live under such conditions.

1913 WAS A VERY BAD YEAR
Prior to 1913, there was no federal income tax, the states had rights and representation in Washington DC, there was no Federal Reserve Bank and the federal government lived under the enumerated powers afforded it within the US Constitution. What a difference one year can make… Almost a hundred years later, it’s clear that the policies established in 1913 must be revoked in order to restore power to the people and the states. But can the American people get the Genie back in the bottle?

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, ...and our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had a large middleclass, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago,
...and our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had a large middleclass, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids. What in the hell happened? Can you spell 'politicians?' And 'unelected bureaucrats truly in control'
And I still have to 'press 1' for
English!?!?!?!?

This year, Canadians start working for themselves on June 19th. According to The Fraser Institute’s annual Tax Freedom Day calculations, Canadians worked until June 18th to pay the total tax bill imposed on them by all levels of government.
Tax Freedom Day arrives five days earlier than in 2005, when it fell on June 24.
