fredratedAnd Hastert's was for a short period of time after 9/11. Also, if it wasn't in the media, then how'd you know about it? Maybe because people are using it to defend Nancy Pelosi's demand?

"actually Jesus supported paying taxes to the government,"Not that I really care what Jesus supported, but where do you get that idea? (The "render unto Caesar" thing, right? But he didn't actually say what was Caesar's did he? The implication is "nothing")"everyone (no matter what economic class) helping the poor, and the rich being very generous and helping the poor, suffering, and needy."Well, helping the poor and being generous etc. is fine, but STEALING from people to do it is NOT "generosity"

How about if the people that offer this reward offer to pay the legal fees, penalties, and tax interest when one of their believers are charged with tax evasion? If you can be thrown in jail for it, then that's good enough for me. Get it official and then it will matter to little people like me.

gingshuo: define "monopoly". If you take a very literal definition: "one seller", then of course "monopolies" arise all the time. But that's not a problem at all - when people say "monopolies are bad" they mean more than that: usually sellers that sell at some price premium due to being the only seller in the market, who can keep competitors out, etc., and /that/ is what cannot arise without coercive intervention (by government, usually; if anyone else tries the same thing it's called "organized crime")

Income taxes from you and I only go to pay the interest on all the debt owed by the US government to the Federal Reserve Bank for all the money it owes.Read The Creature From Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin. It's a fascinating book.

Do you have any facts to back up your statement? The research I've read is absolutely contrary to what you're saying. If I'm not mistaken Americans payed just under 1 Trillion last year in income tax vs. the 262 Billion in Corporate Income Taxes that are actually legal. According to Rich Dad Poor Dad it's the employees that pay the most taxes and the Business Owners and Investors that pay the least. As far as paying for programs for the Poor and children why is it only the Government that can take responsibility to oversee such programs? Why can't Americans come together for programs to assist the Poor on our own? It's not relative either way because the Grace Commission created by Reagan found that 100% of our income tax goes to interest on our National Debt. If America printed our own money and stuck to a sound monetary policy that dealt with the money we have instead of going so far into debt we wouldn't be giving 30% of our income to this illegal tax. With an extra 30% of income and a sound dollar that is actually worth it's weight in gold you'd have more money to give to the Poor. I would see that as a win win wouldn't you?
