Imposing taxes is not akin to slavery. Every citizen who was taxed had the freedom to leave the country. Slaves do not have that option.
I have to call bull on that. Even if you leave the country and work in another country, the US still requires you to pay taxes on your income. Even if you have to pay income taxes to the country in which you work. The only way you can leave the US and not pay taxes is if you leave the US and renounce your citizenship. Even then, you are required by law to submit a final tax return and prove you do not owe back taxes from previous years and pay an exit fee of $2000+. Theyre going to bleed the slaves anyway they can.
As for it not be akin to slavery, again I call bull.
Under slavery, slaves worked and the "massa" then collected the money first, then gave you what he/she thought you needed.
Under taxation, you work and the "massa" (aka the Federal government) takes its cut first, then allows you to have what they think you need. (Or are you still under the delusion that you somehow have a say in the tax rate charged by the Feds?) In other words, who gets the first cut of your wages? You or the Feds/state? Or did you just somehow forget that that money magically disappeared from your paycheck? Even the very bank notes in your wallet are not owned by you. The actual physical bank notes are legally owned by the Federal Reserve, which isn't the Federal Govt., but a collective of banks and financial institutions. You don't even own the money in your pocket.
