Dear Friends,
On this tax day . . . some thoughts
for your consideration:
The AVERAGE American will work
through mid May just to pay his Federal & State taxes. Then he will
work some more to pay his city and property taxes . . . and then he will
work even more to pay his sales taxes and all kinds of special taxes on
phone bills, electric bills, gas bills, airplane tickets, hotel rooms,
etc. It is estimated that 69% of the average American's earnings will go
to pay taxes in one form or another.
. . . Americans are literally
slaves of the governing class . . . and most don't even object! . . . Think
about it, Americans went to war with England over a tea and sugar tax!?
Let me ask you, IS ALL THIS GOVERNMENT
REALLY WORTH IT? WHO BENEFITS? DO YOU? COULD WE GET BUY WITH 10% LESS?
20% LESS? . . . LESS FEDERAL INVOLVEMENT IN . . . LOCAL AFFAIRS . . . LOCAL
LAW ENFORCEMENT . . . LOCAL SCHOOLS . . . LOCAL LUNCH PROGRAMS . . . LOCAL
COMMUNITY RELATIONS, ETC? . . . DO WE REALLY NEED 125,000 EMPLOYEES IN
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE? WHAT FOR? WHAT DO THEY DO FOR YOU? . . . SHOULD
SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN BE VOLUNTEERS? . . . DOES JUNIOR SENATOR HILLARY
CLINTON NEED A $500,000 PER YEAR NEW YORK OFFICE, COMPLETE WITH AN AUDITORIUM,
IN ADDITION TO HER WASHINGTON OFFICE? . . . DO FORMER PRESIDENTS NEED $30
MILLION PER YEAR OF OFFICE SUPPORT AND SECRET SERVICE PROTECTION. . . .
AND SHOULD RETIRED SENATORS GET SPECIAL GOVERNMENT PENSIONS WORTH MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS INSTEAD OF THE SAME SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS THE REST OF OUR
CITIZENS GETS? . . . DID MY TOWN NEED A NEW MULTIMILLION DOLLAR POST OFFICE
IN THE MOST EXPENSIVE SECTION OF TOWN TO DELIVER THE SAME MAIL I'VE BEEN
GETTING QUITE RELIABLY FOR THE PAST TWENTY YEARS FROM THE OLD POST OFFICE?
Just in case you haven't been
following it, President Bush's new Budget increases spending by 4% . .
. and the Democrats in the Senate want to increase spending by 5 to 6%!
That's on top of the current 8% increase!!!
Well, I could go on but I'm sure
you get my drift. Americans are literally slaves of the governing class
. . . and most don't even realize it or object to it!

THE IRS IS ON THE ROPES
AND RUNNING SCARED!
On Thursday a week ago, the Senate
conducted a sham hearing purportedly to challenge IRS Commissioner Charles
Rossotti to answer to the provocative ads run three times this year in
USA Today. C-Span did not cover the hearings. But Bob Shultz, Bill Benson,
Joe Banister and other courageous individuals who had been pictured and
quoted in the ads were present in the audience and had requested an invitation
to speak. They were denied an appearance by those conducting this phony
probe, apparently out of fear of having to face the truth.
Imagine: Blowups of the ads were
posted in the meeting room, Rossotti did his normal tapdance, and those
who wrote and paid for the ads were anxiously sitting right there but were
not allowed to tell their side of the story.
The following Monday, April 9th,
more than 1,000 Americans participated in a "walkaround" of the IRS Headquarters
in Washington, DC, chanting en masse, "Show us the Law!" Bill Benson personally
challenged Charles Rossotti to come out and address the group and show
the law that required American workers to file a 1040 form. Rossotti, in
typical bureaucratic fashion, refused to appear.
Meanwhile, USA Today has decided
to censor away any further advertisement from We the People, foregoing
$62,000 per page. Who got to them? We are awaiting a response from the
newspaper officials, who have been invited to particpate in our radio show.

"If ye love wealth better than
liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest
of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsel or your arms.
Crouch down and lick the hands of those who feed you. May your chains set
lightly upon you. May posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." -
Samuel Adams
