What is the Purpose of Income Tax?

Is the government scamming people?

Is income tax really necessary? My opinion is that is just an excuse for the government to dominate the average Joe. We work ourselves day in and day out and then good old Uncle Sam feels the need to scrounge around in our pockets and take "his cut" of our earnings.

I could understand it if Uncle Sam invested in our work and helped us along. That, as we all know though, isn't how it works. So in essence I have to say I think income tax is pointless.

Uncle Sam doesn't put into our work, therefore why should Uncle Sam get a cut? Just because? I think not.

The government expects us to work all our lives while it picks our back pockets. In essence they want to be paid for the work that We the People do. Does anybody besides me see what is wrong with this picture?

The government has several other ways to make money. So, why does it feel it needs to pick the pockets of the people? I believe this to be a legitimate question.

If anyone has a good answer for it, or any thoughts on the subject drop me a comment, and to all who read this thank you very much.

Income Tax is exactly that; the tax paid on your income. It comes from the fact that there's no such thing as money; since we moved off the gold standard, money now equals debt. Any money you have in your account is just debt that the bank owes you. Income tax is the interst the banks charge to governments for the use of all that debt in the form of money. Sick, isn't it?
