Our forefathers didn't believe in taxation by the King nor the ruling government. Society flourished in spite of taxation, in fact, it thrived. The incentive to be able to keep your earnings, for saving, reinvestment, new ideas, inventions, donations, and whatever you yourself wanted to do with your money, was a foundation for democracy's success. After 100 years of taxation, now bearing down on the people like a heavy burden, discouraging the American work ethic, are we so much better off?
