That's exactly right, GZ; every word of it.

Of course the extension of "...you will be taxed..." is "If you do not pay your tax, we will send armed me to your home to imprison you. If you resist, they will kill you and take everything in your possession." We live under tyranny, my friend.

Recall the movie about Christopher Columbus? I think the title was "1492". The Spaniards had landed on an island in the new world and colonized. They organized the natives into taxpayers. They would summon them into long lines are regular intervals to pay their taxes. One of the natives didn't have the right amount. They summarily cut his entire hand off at the wrist right there in the line without warning!

Well, here we are over 500 years later and the exact same tyranny still exists, GZ. Only today, they are much more organized about it. Of course, they won't cut your hand off, but if you disobey and resist, they will imprison you or kill you. Half a millenium later and no change in the outcome. Tyranny. -ng-
