There is one further point that should be made that most tax protesters miss. The IRS, as an agent for the Treasury, acts as much on the behalf of the banking system as it does the Treasury. Does the US debt ever get paid off? No. Is the Federal Reserve part of the government? No, it’s owned by member banks which are held privately.

This means that the IRS is indirectly an agent for private banks, which currently enjoy a monopoly.

As our current Congress considers programs that will run yet higher deficits, one has to ask if perhaps these issues aren’t really about adding liquidity to a frozen up credit market.

I feel that the banking issue is imminently important when discussing the tax issue. They are as entangled as DNA. Our government is merely a pawn to the financial oligarchy that Congress married us to in 1913 when they created the Federal Reserve.

For more on this subject, I invite you to read Ellen Brown’s book, “Web of Debt”.
