Berney; Sounds like an interesting book, really liked that
"The art of taxation can be likened to plucking a goose. The goal is to get the most amount of feathers with the least amount of squawking."
I find it odd that so many people complain about Tax come April,
heck that is when I get to feeling patriotic. <G>
The real plucking comes when we and where we'r not looking,
an example is say like the Gasoline you buy, the TAX is fixed
say the price of Gas goes down, but most of the TAX on it don't.

Another thing the system is good at is convincing people they made
a decisions, when in reality it was made for them , and not by the
people they elected, but often because some law was slipped
under the door years ago, and the lawyers no longer understand
it enough to get rid of it.
The Federal Reserve , should not be called Federal as it is not
owned or controlled by our Government. In fact it's as
close a copy of Fascism as you can get without the real thing.
But getting into that I will likely tempt people to split
hairs about it like Clinton did about what having Sex is. <G>
