About the Author
Donald Kirchinger has a background quite typical of his mid-western roots. Born in Detroit, Michigan in 1950, Donald spent his youth on forty acres of farmland in Fairhaven, Michigan. As a teenager, guided by his many long discussions with his father, Donald displayed an entrepreneurial flair. He bought his first cows when he was thirteen and bought his first common stock (AT&T) at fifteen. After attending nearby St. Clair Community College, where he attained a Science degree, Donald worked as a factory laborer, a farmer, a pallet maker and a truck driver. In 1981, Donald acquired his stockbrokerage license, which was his career for the next seven years. He then began stock brokering part time and driving a semi truck at nights, which he does to this day. While seemingly quite contrary, Donalds dual careers are laden with government regulations. His experiences with the resulting myriad of taxes, fees and restrictions were catalytic in conceiving his book. In addition, the hours spent behind the wheel provided Donald with clarity - not to dwell on the problems faced by taxpaying citizens, but to devise an alternative. A capitalist by nature and an industrialist by trade, Donald Kirchinger has adopted his proposal for a government without taxes as his life work. Married for twenty-nine years, Donald and his wife have three children. All of whom support Donald in his endeavor to create a society whereby people can live, work, produce and contribute in freedom.
