In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. – George Orwell
Yes, it’s tax time. And to celebrate this joyous season properly, I firmly believe it is the duty of every red-blooded American to watch the best investigative documentary yet created regarding the IRS and the income tax system.
The movie is, of course, 2006’s America: Freedom to Fascism, by the late film producer Aaron Russo.
· Is there actually a law that requires you and me to file and/or pay income taxes? (spoiler alert: the answer is not “yes”)
· What happens when a filmmaker confronts the IRS and asks to see the law?
· What does the Supreme Court have to say about the 16th Amendment and its ability to confer upon the government any “new” powers of taxation?
· What is the difference between the IRS and the mafia?
· What happens when IRS agents wake up and realize that the system they’re defending is a sham, scam and a flim-flam?
· What does this all have to do with the encroaching “Cashless Society” and where will it lead?
