Home of the brave?

I gave a copy of the movie 'Freedom to Fascism' to a few people I know. The common comment that I received was: "I am still going to pay my income taxes because I am afraid of the IRS."

We live in fear. We are no longer "the home of the brave" like our national anthem claims. We do things, not because they absolutely make sense to us but because we are afraid of what will happen if we don't conform.

Income taxes. Driver's License. Automobile registration. Social Security. Etc.

I am in the same boat.

However, I am getting closer and closer to throwing myself overboard and making my own boat or finding a better one.

So why are you against paying taxes? I understand not supporting what taxes are used for or wanting more control of where your money goes, but I do not really know what exactly your problem with taxes in this country is. ???

I think the movie 'Freedom to Fascism' does a good job of explaining why anyone should be against paying taxes.

I see. I haven't seen that movie.

I haven't seen that movie. Do you have it on DVD or something?
