This should be seen by all Americans in my opinion. It is the best movie I've seen this year.

Nothing I haven't heard from Rush, Bill'O, the Black Avenger and other conservative talk radio hosts for years. Ofcourse the Federal Income tax is a redistribution of wealth, takin' from the workers and the "Have's", but as soon as one says that they are accused of being racist hatemongers. "HALE" DOUBLE "HALE" I've been accused of that for years here. The most telling bit of imformation was the statement early in the video by the redneck with his hat turned backwards. "The Law and authority is on the badge and gun of the agent that comes to collect or throw you in jail". I loved the Judge that said the governement doesn't have to answer the petition of the people. What have I been screaming for years, watch the JUDGES THEY ARE LEGISLATING FROM THE BENCH. What have I been getting here OH NO JOHN D. you are just a conservative Republican hatemonger. To be honest it was about the funnest video I've seen in years. "HALE" I had and IRS agent show up at my busines at 5:00 on a friday demanding money right then and there, she left empty handed. I told her she could talk to my accountant and work it out. I sure as "Hale" wasn't giving her the money on her or the IRS's word, until my accountant talked to her. If I don't owe the money it will take years for me to get it back, and the IRS will not pay me the interest on my money I gave them. I ended up paying and firing my accountant.

Commentary on the Movie:

America: Freedom to Fascism is a compelling and troubling account of how the wealth of our nation was silently passed from its citizens to a handful of powerful bankers in 1913. That's the year the Federal Reserve Act and the 16th Amendment were introduced, giving a privately held corporation the means to control our finances while ensuring its interest payments through the strong arms of the newly-formed Internal Revenue Service. Ever since then, Russo suggests, Americans have been gradually conditioned to accept fewer freedoms and a lower standard of living... all the while considering debt and servitude as distinctly American values.

Russo's first and most cogent point is simple: Americans are not required to pay a federal income tax. That's a bold statement to make, as few people believe that such a fraud could be perpetrated for so long. My father, himself an accountant, insists that the income tax is a very real thing. Russo takes that same belief to IRS employees and simply asks them to cite where it says an unapportioned income tax is required of us all. Guess what? They can't. In a telling segment Sheldon Cohen, former commissioner of the IRS, goes so far as to reject Supreme Court rulings and the Constitution as benchmarks over what is legal with regards to taxation. Russo also interviews members of the tax honesty movement as well as disenfranchised IRS agents who agree that no law on the books conjures up a requirement to send the government part of one's hard-earned paycheck. Russo then showcases court cases where those accused of tax evasion have won precisely because the prosecution cannot provide evidence of a legal federal income tax law.

It's shocking to have it hammered into your head over and over that you've thrown your money away for nothing, but repetition is good; it helps knock loose the deeply entrenched belief that we owe a portion of our livelihood to our government.


And I just love this quote:

We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications, whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we have been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years." -- David Rockefeller
