"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Size of Income Tax Drop Surprises U.S. States: Study
“Most U.S. states were surprised by the size of the drop in their personal income tax collections this April, even though they had expected a decline, according to a report released by the Rockefeller Institute of Government on Thursday. Personal income tax revenues in April were 15.8 percent, or $7.9 billion, below the same month in 2013, according to preliminary estimates from Rockefeller, a public policy research group at the State University of New York. April is a key tax collection month because of the federal tax filing deadline.” Nothing would make me happier than to learn that a good part of that drop was due to deliberate efforts on the part of tax-payers to deprive this criminal government of income. I'm not even going to do the research to see what the cause is. Instead, I shall indulge in my happy little fantasy that people en masse are beginning to refuse to pay and refuse to comply.
