The Federal tax laws are incomprehensible to even the most highly trained tax experts. This makes them UNJUST. I am ASHAMED of our tax laws. They are something out of the decaying Ottoman empire, not the greatest country on Earth. That our political system is incapable of doing anything except make them worse shakes my confidence in our government to the core. That this is true is not because we don't elect enough Conservative Republicans, or that democrats are bad. It is evidence that there is a FUNDAMENTAL flaw in our system of government. No progress will be made in fixing this problem until we can achieve a consensus that there is a problem, that the problem is fundamental, that we are attacking an INJUSTICE. The American people can summon up the energy to tackle any injustice. No amount of yelling can shake them out of their indolence if the yelling is about tinkering around the edges of marginal problem.

"I never gave them power of attorney. " That's not required under the Constitution, only that they be elected by the majority of citizens. You voted, or not. That's your say. That's all the say you get. Under the Constitution yes, but I was not talking about the constitution. At the level that I was talking about the constitution is just part of the government, you could consider it to be equivalent to the bylaws of your condo association. The point I made was that you explicitly agreed to the rules and bylaws of your condo association. If you are going to argue that your condo association fee is like a tax then the equivalent would be if you owned a separate house and the condo association voted under its bylaws to add your home to the condo organization and then put you under their rules without your specific agreement but told you "it was done under the rules and we will let you vote in the next election for association board members".
