Covers all the bases. Taxation is theft. The income tax is extortion. Of the many books I've read on the government's crime of taxation, this is one of the two or three best. The only one I rank before it is Irwin Schiff's, The Great Income Tax Hoax: Why You Can Immediately Stop Paying This Illegally Enforced Tax
The ink had hardly dried on the Constitution when in 1794 Congress passed the so-called Carriage Tax act and President Washington allowed it to become law. In levying the tax, Congress ignored one of the very few constitutional limitations on the government's power to tax: a requirement that direct taxes be "apportioned." Two years later the Supreme Court, in the case, HYLTON VS. U.S., agreed with Congress and unanimously held that this patently unconstitutional tax was constitutional. The HYLTON decision paved the way for the first income tax sixty-five years later at the outset of the Civil War, and it has been all downhill for taxpayers ever since. Richman does a marvelous job in describing the enormous changes in the size of the American government, the concomitant loss of individual liberty and the devastating impact of the income tax on the economy and on the self-reliance of individual Americans. Read this book and weep for America. And read Richman's recent book, AMERICA'S COUNTER REVOLUTION: THE CONSTITUTION REVISITED, to learn how the taxaholic Federalists like Hamilton and Madison outmaneuvered and outfoxed their Anti-Federalist opponents to get the Constitution ratified, thereby creating the mechanism by which the Leviathan state would flourish with virtually no constraint whatsoever on the federal government's power to tax and spend your money.

About the author
No Need to Abolish It
By all means, buy this book. Then spend another $4 and find real freedom.There is simply no need to abolish the IRS. At the risk of appearing gauche ("Buy my book instead!") I must comment that there are over 67 million non-filers in America and many of them are like me: happy, law-abiding Nontaxpayers. In my book, https://www.amazon.com/Tax-Honesty-Primer-Americans-financial/dp/B084DGMBP3/ref=sr_1_1?crid=C4P7ESRMDDMI&keywords=A+Tax+Honesty+Primer&qid=1657974243&sprefix=a+tax+honesty+primer%2Caps%2C84&sr=8-1 explains why April 15 has been just another day on the calendar for me for 28 years now. All 14 times in the first decade that IRS operatives attempted to coerce me back into the "fair share" line, I told them to pound sand. All 14 times, they did.All I did was tell the truth, obey laws, and force my IRS servants to do the same. The little book explains in detail. Is the IRS a criminal agency? Certainly; as are most federal agencies and bureaus (want to do something about it? Read my book, The Great We-Set™ and let's get rolling in your county!).The glass is definitely half full, and we're living in the BEST time in American history. Read...learn...DO!!
