Joeseph Stack's Suicide Letter

[Ikeren]

@Hasbin: You're right, I admit that my distaste for the method in which theories get expressed and espoused led to poor articulation of my actual stance. That was definitely not what I was attempting to convey. I do think all theories are worth at the very least, reading about and investigating.


@IRS: I know exactly what I get for my taxes; I've looked at the government budget and how the money I pay breaks down into benefits for me. A short list includes Healthcare, Post-Secondary Education funding, Public Transit Subsidization, massive amounts of urban development work, funding for artists, public schools. And while I don't use the last two, that doesn't prevent them from being projects I support.

For what I pay, I am reasonably certain that I'm getting a pretty good deal.

Perhaps you don't know... banks basically own the US. This should sum things up for you. Theres no funny business going on here. This is just how it is. Its a shame that only 20% of the US population know this. and only 35% of those people care and only 10% of those actually do anything about it. When you fluoridate water people become dumb...

ikeren is another idiot kid looking up taxes with google.

taxes that come out of your wallet go directy into the pockets of your elected officials and then to their mansions and sports cars.

money your schools, roads, and homeless get come from the taxes of tobacoo products, electronics, alcohol (also known as beer since you idiots seem to be that dumb), candy etc..

so unless you're a fat drunk smoker addicted to sugar you don't contribute to society!

you are all morons by the way!

So, you're under the impression that product taxes are what pays for all the "useful" stuff, and income tax just goes to politicians? Just so I'm clear. And is this US, Canada, some other country?

All are paid for by state tax and taxed based on what the state determines, unless there is a federal tax like on cigarettes (higher or lower depending on what state you life in)

the income tax goes primarily to pay off a debt to banks. (the federal reserve has complete control of our monetary system and it is all behind closed doors what they do with it.

As long as our country is enslaved by the banks, we will never be free. It is the single most powerful force opposing this country and our government has welcomed them.

I was once an income tax protester until I figured some things out.

1) No one really gives a shit.
2) Income tax protesters go to jail. (see 1)
3) Most people in the US can't locate Idaho on a map, much less understand the intricacies of constitutional law, AND (see 1).

I recently was at a very interesting presentation about how and why Banking institutions tend to be outside the democratic sphere in otherwise democratic nations. I agree that it is wrong that financial institutions with substantial influence over the economy are so unaccountable, but maybe it's a Canada/US difference, because while banks are powerful, to say that they're in control of the government, I think, doesn't give the government enough credit for its own flaws and successes.
