Sorry, I do not equate the laws on taxation of income with the laws on murder. The laws of income taxation create an unlawful lien on an individual's right to produce, as many Senators and Representatives argued eloquently for many years throughout the 19th Century. Taxation of the creation of wealth is confiscatory and immoral.

The laws against murder are highly moral as they seek to impose a penalty on the ultimate violation of an individual's rights -- namely depriving that individual of his/her life.

The U.S. was run quite well through 1917 with no imposition of income taxes. I guess what the Founding Fathers did back in 1776, and later when they drew up the Constitution were creating a "state of anarchy"? Hmmmm... ?
