> It’s worth nothing that our American ancestors lived without income taxation and the IRS for more than a 100 years. That’s because they knew that an income tax and an IRS to enforce it were antithetical to the principles of a genuinely free society. They understood that anyone who lives under a government that wields the power to seize their income is a serf, not a genuinely free person. Only a person who is free to keep everything he earns and decide for himself what to do with his own money can genuinely be considered free.
