Tax Season is quickly approaching, I wonder how all of our government and Corporations for that fact, would feel if "we the people" decided to not pay them this year!! Our Taxes pay most of their salaries, then they are topped off by big Corporations with bribes, so let them live off big Corporations, let's see how long Corporations can pay their CEO's, VP's and the Governments salaries before they come crawling begging us for help. I mean really what are they going to do if we refuse to pay this year? Throw us all in jail, take are homes, make us slaves? Oh wait they have already done that...................

People thing their federal taxes got to pay for services and its a friggin scam! We now have a government run by corporate banksters, it's been that way since 1913, and your income taxes pay for interest on our using Fiat FRN's. The word "note" on your dollars means it is a debt instrument, it is an IOU to the Federal reserve. The U.S. Treasury hires the Fed to print our money and we pay the interest with taxes, I'm not kidding! Did you believe what the y taught you in school? Do you realize the curriculum is designed by by your corporate masters? Wake up you slaves and stop paying for your own chains!

Yes! Federal income tax is illegal and unconstitutional and most of it now goes to the Federal Reserve to pay the interest on the phony baloney fiat FRN's they loaned out government, you guys need an education about the Federal Reserve, it is the banker to the corporate banksters and it is a private corporation, not answerable to the Treasury any longer. Our monetary system was hijacked in 1913, and the IRS was created along side the FED to collect usury. Our government should be able to print its own interest free money as stipulated in our Constitution, then we wouldn't need federal income taxes at all. Read your history folks, start with The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin. I vote for a Don't File movement for 2012!

Other countries and Corporations own it now.

Just about every government is corporate controlled by the banking cartel, those who own the World Bank and IMF pull all the strings. If you want to stop the corporate takeover, start with the banks at the top, in the U.S. its the Federal Reserve banks. OWS should march on over demand Bernanke's arrest, the man's such a liar and he oversaw the bail-out heist of the century! Don't pay any more taxes to these scamsters, it's all based on fraud!

We really need to cut off the money to really make change!

Taxes are needed for a society to function properly. If you want to destroy the US economy completely, this would be a good tactic. Of course, this would make things worse than they are now, and the big companies wouldn't be affected as much you the normal citizen. They probably wouldn't even notice. On the other hand, you'll lose the small amount of services you already have.

A better solution would be for you to read books and educate yourself. Hopefully, this will help you better understand the problems in your economy and how to solve them.

I think you need to do some reading yourself, start with The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin. You have no idea.

And isn't this protest about the economy? So why wouldn't we want it destroyed, sometimes you have to destroy something to get it out of the way to build a better more modern "anything"

Americans are masters of destruction, so you might be right that you should destroy it. However, most people would rather repair something that is broken than to destroy and replace. At the very least, they would be open to verify if it can be repaired. I know Americans in their culture of fast foods and quick fixes don't have to patience that is required to look for the best possible solutions.

Certainly, but abandoning a system should always be the last resort since it is much more work to start from nothing than to repair something that already exists. The question is - can the current system be repaired? I think it can because many other western nations have systems which work better than the one in US. For example, in Canada business and politics are much more separated than in US. Campaigns are funded with taxes, not by companies. That is illegal in Canada.

As for your better more modern "anything", the current system proposed by OWS is a direct democracy which is a system that is older than a Republic. The current system is more modern than the one being proposed to replace it.

Well that is what we have been brain washed for years to believe, there is such a thing that is called trade, people use to use it all the time. They would trade labor for say "land or other things needed" and still have money in their pocket. I have seen this in my generation not as much as my 100 yr Grandmother but I have seen trade in action and being able to learn a trade without paying a quarter to a half a million for it. People use to teach others the trade of their profession. And yes Corporations would feel the affect.

This idea works in small communes or simply societies, but it doesn't scale well.

You would be amazed if you shift your paradigm. Everything you know is because it has been taught to you and you see no better way. Start walking on your own and you will find many ways to live. This World is all about dependency anymore and the governments have studied it before you and I were ever born. If we need they have us by the well you know the rest......

You shouldn't assume what others know or don't know. This alone shows that you're not open to criticism. I have been walking on my own for quite a while and studied many different economic systems. What you fail to realize is that the Republic model that the US has adopted is not the only type of Republic. Canada, Swedien, and many other countries all have their own variations on this structure. Furthermore, it is a more modern approach than the antiquated direct democracy that OWS wants to implement.

BTW - You should learn to write, there are all kinds of mistakes in your sentences.
