James Madison Quote

"The apportionment of taxes on the various descriptions of property is an act which seems to require the most exact impartiality; yet there is, perhaps, no legislative act in which greater opportunity and temptation are given to a predominant party to trample on the rules of justice. Every shilling which they overburden the inferior number is a shilling saved to their own pockets."

Close, but a miss... tax collectors no longer work for a "political party". They work for International Bankers and are on par with any gangster like extortion scheme but operate with impunity. Without a doubt they are arrogant thieves and part of the cancer that is the Federal Reserve.  -- J Carlton, Calgary      1 1
Theft is legal when the tax collectors do it.  -- jim k, Austin, Tx      3
This combined with Emergency War Powers makes for absolute despotism.  -- E Archer, NYC      3
Where or what is the lawful nexus that would allow ownership in another's property that would permit a taxing thereof??? How is it that a slave master lays claim to chattel (sheeple, borg, etc.) and the fruits of their labor by way of taxation. Where is perfected allodium that a distant — disinterested third party does not recognize?  -- Mike, Norwalk
-- Mary, MI
