Those are probably the first true words George W. has ever spoken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact is, neither you nor I were signatories to those four famous pieces of paper. Therefore under universal commercial contract law, we are not bound by them any more than &lt;strong&gt;George Bush&lt;/strong&gt; is. But ya gotta hand it to the founding fathers. It almost worked. And it did indeed work for a few years, until it started to get more and more watered down by bureaucrats, politicians, and lawyers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But let's not labor the point too feverishly. The real question is not whether one thing or another is "legal" or not. One important question is whether the &lt;strong&gt;constitution&lt;/strong&gt; still works in some way to protect our remaining freedoms. The latest Bush regime reveals in stark reality that it does not. Bush continues to do exactly what he likes, for the benefit of his &lt;strong&gt;banking masters&lt;/strong&gt; and his oil buddies; including, of course, the &lt;strong&gt;Bin Laden&lt;/strong&gt; family of Saudi Arabia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question of real consequence has to do with the lifeline that supports the Bush regime. What is it that bleeds the people dry of their &lt;strong&gt;freedoms&lt;/strong&gt;, their &lt;strong&gt;liberties&lt;/strong&gt;, and their private resources; enshrining the Bushites, their &lt;strong&gt;NWO&lt;/strong&gt; cronies, and &lt;strong&gt;international bankers&lt;/strong&gt; with power, authority, and untold wealth?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is &lt;strong&gt;taxes&lt;/strong&gt;, of course. Legal or illegal, it doesn't really matter. What matters is what they do, how they do it, and for whom they do it. &lt;strong&gt;Do taxes work&lt;/strong&gt; for you and I?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Taxes&lt;/strong&gt; don't supply &lt;strong&gt;government services&lt;/strong&gt; to you. They destroy &lt;strong&gt;sustainable government&lt;/strong&gt; funding opportunities, and cause a continuing drain on the world's &lt;strong&gt;natural resources&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Taxes&lt;/strong&gt; don't protect our &lt;strong&gt;freedoms&lt;/strong&gt;. They rob from us, kill us, imprison us, indebt us, and make us anything but free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, there are a lot of people who benefit from &lt;strong&gt;taxes&lt;/strong&gt;, but none of those people actually work for a living.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The families that own the major &lt;strong&gt;banking institutions&lt;/strong&gt; profit 100% from every new dollar issued as&lt;strong&gt; interest-bearing debt&lt;/strong&gt;. The &lt;strong&gt;arms industry, petro-chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, and "health" industry profit immensely&lt;/strong&gt; with each newly manufactured "threat" to our communal happiness and well-being. Shareholders and investors profit from &lt;strong&gt;tax-induced high interest rates&lt;/strong&gt; and share profits. Likewise, service industries benefit indirectly with more profit opportunities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the time all this profit trickles down to the workers, it has been reduced to crumbs. Workers in all those industries become totally dependent upon their jobs, and the after-tax wages they receive, to feed their families.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, not only do &lt;strong&gt;the workers pay the way for all the wealthy&lt;/strong&gt; above them in this diabolical heirarchy of disempowerment, they get nothing in return but chains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not an anarchist. In fact, I believe that a little bit of government can be a good thing; provided it is a benevolent government, and founded upon service to the community rather than control and domination. In that respect, the &lt;strong&gt;U.S. Constitution&lt;/strong&gt; is about as good as it gets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But why look to the &lt;strong&gt;Constitution&lt;/strong&gt; to either justify or condemn &lt;strong&gt;taxes&lt;/strong&gt;? They simply don't work for you and I in any way, shape, manner or form. End of story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But of course, if we're going to have any sort of &lt;strong&gt;government&lt;/strong&gt; at all, there has to be a way to fund that &lt;strong&gt;government&lt;/strong&gt;, doesn't there? This is where it gets interesting. Why not empower said &lt;strong&gt;government&lt;/strong&gt; with the same monopoly now enjoyed by the &lt;strong&gt;banks&lt;/strong&gt; in the creation of &lt;strong&gt;new money&lt;/strong&gt;? Only with &lt;strong&gt;government&lt;/strong&gt;, there needs to be no &lt;strong&gt;interest &lt;/strong&gt;on all this &lt;strong&gt;new money&lt;/strong&gt;. In fact, &lt;strong&gt;government&lt;/strong&gt; can pay for all its legitimate services with this new&lt;strong&gt; interest-free money&lt;/strong&gt; without creating any &lt;strong&gt;inflationary&lt;/strong&gt; effect at all. And in the process, the common man can enjoy the whole and complete proceeds of his own labor. That is about as close to &lt;strong&gt;real liberty&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;freedom&lt;/strong&gt; that I can imagine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more on &lt;strong&gt;taxes, 9-11, the banking conspiracy, and the no-tax alternative&lt;/strong&gt;, go to &lt;a href="http://www.truthaboutax.com"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;www.truthaboutax.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; .&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34921931-115905717446170993?l=takeoverasmallcountry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://takeoverasmallcountry.blogspot.com/feeds/115905717446170993/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34921931&amp;postID=115905717446170993' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34921931/posts/default/115905717446170993'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34921931/posts/default/115905717446170993'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://takeoverasmallcountry.blogspot.com/2006/09/so-what-if-taxes-are-unconstitutional.html' title='So What if Taxes are Unconstitutional?'/><author><name>Carl Peterson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03198356259665244199</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
