Taxes?

I got an interesting e-mail from a friend that contained a link to a video. It brings into question the legality of Income Tax. The thing is, this only affects people who don’t know how the tax laws work anyway. If you properly use the tax laws you can avoid paying the majority of taxes as it is. All that is required is educating yourself some on how they work. There are plenty of books and forums and help out there to learn how to get around paying taxes perfectly legally. I am worried this is going to become a Michael Moore type video. Anyone interested in watching it, the whole thing can be found at Google Video. It is about 1 hour and 45 minutes long. I also don’t like what it is called… America: Freedom to Fascism. They do present a very good argument, but there is one flaw. How many millions of people would be out of jobs if income taxes suddenly went away?

Update: I actually e-mailed the director of this movie, Aaron Russo and he brought up a good point. My argument almost makes it sound like I mean to say that Americans pay income tax just to employ accountants. I didn’t mean that. If America is doing something wrong, then by all means fix it. But a sudden change would be bad. I am just trying to point out that such a sudden and significant change could cause more upheaval and problems than the potential benefits of that change is worth. In the richest country in the world with the richest people in the world, we have to be doing something right. Anyone can become wealthy in this country, it is just up to the person as to whether or not it would be worth the effort. I also want to thank Mr. Russo for e-mailing me back so swiftly.
