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.

Government gleefully handed over all power to the banks in when was it 1913? Also, the USA is a Republic. Not a democracy

I giggle at the tinfoil hat crowd saying the world is run by banks.

Flying a plane into a building filled with people who pay taxes (just like him) is ridiculous.

However I sympathize with him a great deal.

I was in the USA for a total of 1 hour. I was on a transit flight. I landed in LA, we all had to get off the plane while it got refueled and checked by security. Then we all had to have our picture taken and give our fingerprints. Was I a jew in Nazi germany? Then we all got to a big room without exists where we had to wait for an hour before we could board the same plane again and continue the flight. I didn't want to refuse the picture and the fingerprints, cause I didn't want to miss my flight out of there. I'm never going to the USA again, including on transit.

Eh, you really aren't missing much.

I live here and I don't really care for it half the time. While I am grateful I was lucky to be born here rather than most other places on this planet, eh...it varies.

Kant would be proud. The differences between a constitutional republic and a representative democracy are subtle enough for the purpose of discussing relative powers of banks to government, the distinction is not massive.

Anyways; do you have any evidence aside from the videos you posted earlier, which have some noticable flaws? Like; I don't disagree that banks are powerful and that money is powerful (you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who didn't believe that). But you use the words "ALL power". And that is what I'm more curious about.

Tsuken, while regretable, the US is extra-concerned about its flights and that leads to minor restrictions in civil liberties when flying. I don't think it's a good thing, but I also don't think it's unexpected.
