Beware the Taxman!
By Rob Pue April 2025
And that’s just the federal income tax. We pay taxes on the money we earn, taxes on the money we spend, and taxes on things we own that we already paid taxes on with already- taxed money. Only our government is irresponsible enough to be in the the business of forcibly extracting so much money from people and still come out bankrupt. In addition to the federal income tax, we also pay: property tax, sales tax, state income tax, marriage li- cense fees, public school taxes, vehi- cle registration taxes, business permit fees, estate taxes, dog license fees, driver’s license fees, vehicle registra- tion fees, gasoline taxes, gift taxes, so- cial security taxes, unemployment taxes, self-employment taxes, hotel taxes, license plate fees, Medicare taxes, utility taxes, and sports sta- dium taxes — to name just a few. Basically, if you earn it, you pay in- come tax. If you live somewhere, you pay property tax. If you spend it, you pay sales tax. If you save it, inflation tax. If you invest it, capital gains tax. If you start a business, license fees. If your business prospers, you pay profit tax. If you give it away, there’s a gift tax. And in some states, if you die, inheritance tax. Once again: We’re paying taxes on the money we earn, taxes on the money we spend, and taxes on things we already own that we already paid taxes on, with already taxed money. Can you wrap your head around that? And why do we put up with it? Continued on Page 7
Historically, April 15 has not been a good day. On April 15, 1865, Abra- ham Lincoln died after being shot in the head the previous evening. Re- searchers and historians have long debated the claim that John Wilkes Booth was the assassin...and that there was a much darker truth to the story, involving a “deep state” con- spiracy that the official history books will never tell us. On April 15, 1912, 1500 people died when the Titanic sank, after hitting an iceberg. The story of Titanic has captivated hearts and minds ever since this epic disaster took place. Again, many researchers and histori- ans are not buying the official narra- tive that this was simply an accident. Why would Captain Smith, a sea- soned officer who commanded ships for the White Star Line for 25 years — and was planning to retire after the Titanic’s maiden voyage — carelessly run the ship into a known ice field on a moonless night at full speed? It’s thought by many that the sink- ing of the Titanic was more sinister than the history books will ever tell us. Many of the world’s wealthiest men were sailing on Titanic. JP Mor- gan was also scheduled to sail the maiden voyage but cancelled at the last minute. Morgan was the founder and owner of the International Mer- cantile Marine Company, which bankrolled many shipping compa- nies, including Titanic’s White Star Line. But other wealthy and influential
men, including Benjamin Guggen- heim, Isidor Straus and John Jacob Astor were on board. What did these three men have in common? They all opposed the globalists’ centralized world banking system and the forma- tion of the Federal Reserve, which was established in the US the follow- ing year. JP Morgan was one of the main proponents of the Federal Re- serve. Were 1500 souls sacrificed for the sake of globalist greed and financial control? Of course, we’ll never know the truth, but considering what the globalists have done since then, the death of a mere 1500 people is noth- ing in comparison. In 1913, the 16th Amendment to the US Constitution authorized Con- gress to impose a tax on income, lead- ing to the creation of the Bureau of Internal Revenue, which would be- come the Internal Revenue Service in 1953. And two years later, April 15
became “Tax Day.” It had previously been March 15, but in 1955, the date was extended “to allow taxpayers more time to prepare their returns, to accommodate the increasing com- plexity of tax laws and the growing number of people who were required to pay federal income tax.” Taxes have always been a part of life, even going back to colonial days. The American Revolution began due to “taxation without representation.” England was taxing the colonists on goods we imported, but the colonists had no representation in British Par- liament. Today, American citizens are being taxed on everything, with no legitimate representation in our own Congress. By the way, the Revolu- tionary War was fought over those taxes, that amounted to a whopping 3%. Today, just the federal income tax rate alone ranges from 10% for those living in poverty to 37% for those with a higher income.
