Insane Government


Why People Cheered the Movie...
and would prolly cheer the real deal




Let's say you own a home and your mortgage is $1,000 a month. If, however, you instead rented the home from a landlord your rent, let's say, would be $2,000 a month. To the mandarins at the IRS, you are "earning" an implied $1,000 a month because you own and not rent, and that "value" should be added to your taxable income. If you own your home out-right and don't have a mortgage at all, you would be "earning" $2,000 a month which the IRS thinks should be added to your taxable income. [The Most Absurd 'Loophole' in the Tax Code]

...   the feds list this exemption as one of the top "loopholes" in the tax code. They estimate that it "costs" the feds over $50 billion a year to not levy this tax.

Simple solution: the government owns everything, including our homes, wages and other assets and takes care of us to the extent that it gives us a small allowance in addition to our other needs.

This was the approach partially implemented in Britain after WWII. It experienced food and energy rationing which lasted in various forms until 1954.

A great many women out there could owe the government LOTS of back taxes.

On the other hand, could it not be said that you are cheating an evil corporation (the landlord is most likely incorporated) out of $1,000 a month, and therefore you deserve a corresponding tax credit?
