“Twice a year I receive a letter from the city where I live with a tax bill based on their estimation of the value of my property”
Is it really individual property if it is perpetually taxed? More like a penalty for ownership, or a “protection” fee from a benevolent and gracious government staffed by fellow citizens.
Well said. I don’t consider it a coincidence that the modern IRS took its form within a decade of the coalescing of local gangs into an international criminal syndicate (thanks to the fiasco of prohibition-another “brilliant”progressive social engineering project). The methods they used for their operation are eerily similar to the tactics our government began using in earnest by the 1940s. Head scratching, to say the least.

I'm a tax CPA with 20 plus years in the industry. I'd happily give up my livelihood for repealing this whole mess.
That sheep don’t look too pleased
