Larken Rose, a self-described "tax heretic" and enemy of the state, is the author of three books, one video, and countless articles, among other things. He is unapologetically and unconditionally committed to ending the "federal income tax" deception, and more importantly, the more fundamental fraud underlying the entire notion of "government" and "authority."

It's not surprising that megalomaniacs always try to justify their attempts to control and subjugate everyone else. What is surprising--pathetic, really--is how often their victims agree with them.

Stop Saying "Please"!
Begging for freedom--whether by voting, lobbying, or any other method "within the system"--sends one message loud and clear: "We can't be free until the politicians give their permission!" What approach could be more absurd, or more fruitless?

Rating Obama
It's worthwhile to rate a politician's "job performance" only if you first realize that a politician's goal (his "job") is not to serve the people, but to empower himself and the puppet-masters who own him.
