...The Fed I'm okay with.
But I'd like to hear what Jay was going to say (in a nutshell) about the origin of the IRS.
Nutshell... you can look up the history of the IRS but you'll have a hard time finding the origin of the IRS. There is speculation that the IRS was created as a reaction to the creation of the Fed, which prints money at congress's request. The Fed prints the money and loans it to the US at interest. If you look into the origin of the Fed you'll notice that Woodrow Wilson used it as part of his "The New Freedom" campaign for president in 1912. He and some banker friends are the ones who created the Feb Bill that passed.
At any rate, the IRS was never created by congress (if someone can find it please post it I'd love to see it!). In fact the IRS (or before 1953) it was called the Bureau of Internal Revenue. What you'll find doing a search for the history of the IRS is how it was created by Lincoln in 1862 to raise money to pay for the civil war. There were several other times it was declared unconstitutional by the supreme court until the 16th amendment was passed in surprisingly 1913 as well!
This has led to much speculation as to who actually owns/runs the Fed (if you can find out who please post!). Some say it's owners are JP Morgan and the Rockefellers families as well as others. Some have even suggested staged acts such as the Gulf of Tonkin and the result of the US entering the Vietnam war is a direct result of those super elite. The reason for this is because the most expensive thing that a government can do is go to war, which means that the government has to print more money from the fed to pay for it, which in turns means that every dollar printed has interest, which means the people who own the fed are making out like bandits!
If you haven't figured it out yet there is also speculation about Iraq and the lies about WMDs, Iraq having a part of 9/11, and Iraq harboring Al Qaeda before 9/11. What did we do? We went to war. Who are we getting the money from? hm. A few places but I bet you can guess what the speculation is.
Finally, the IRS collects your income tax to pay for big government. Other taxes, such as property, sales, and other local taxes pay for the local services you get i.e. fire, police, etc. Some say/think that the income tax that the federal government collects only goes towards the interest payments on those loans.
I've never heard Ron Paul say the IRS is illegal (he might have if you have seen it post it) however, he does want to remove the Fed and the IRS for obvious reasons. A quick YouTube of Ron Paul and the IRS/Fed you'll find out what he has to say (I must say he's one smart and consistent chop!). But I'll leave you with a quote from him the "crazy" guy. "You can't get rid of the IRS if you believe that the government should take care of you from cradle to grave. It takes a different mind set to remove the IRS." And with that I totally agree! I don't need the government to take care of me. I can take care of myself better than the government could ever, just ask my parents who are being forced to spend their $200,000 because they have to enroll into Medicare next year when they turn 65!
You should be pissed about what your government is doing to you. But instead you just seem to blow it off. I don't understand what your motivation is. Maybe it's video games maybe you don't care. But soon you probably will.
