If for no other reason, personal pride should prompt every governor and state legislator to take a secessionist attitude; they were not elected to be lackeys of the federal bureaucracy.

The 16th Amendment corroded the American concept of natural rights; ultimately reduced the American citizen to a status of subject, so much so that he is not aware of it; enhanced Executive power to the point of reducing Congress to innocuity; and enabled the central government to bribe the states, once independent units, into subservience. No kingship in the history of the world ever exercised more power than our Presidency, or had more of the people's wealth at its disposal.

Just what part does the State play in production to warrant its rake-off? The State does not give; it merely takes.

Taxation is nothing but organized robbery, and there the subject should be dropped.

If for no other reason, personal pride should prompt every governor and state legislator to take a secessionist attitude; they were not elected to be lackeys of the federal bureaucracy.

We cannot restore traditional American freedom unless we limit the government's power to tax.

There cannot be a good tax nor a just one; every tax rests its case on compulsion.
