re: How is the income tax legal?

Consumption taxes are the only fair taxes.

100% agreed.

But fair =/= legal.

Should, bud doesn't.

Why does a person who buys a vehicle outright and then pays the tax to buy it, have to continue to pay that tax once per year indefinitely?

Why does a person who buys a home or land, pay their tax on that home/land upon purchase but still have to pay a yearly property tax on something upon which they've already paid taxes?

Why are we taxed a significant portion of our gross income pre-pay, from state, federal, social security etc. but then the money that the government actually does let us keep, gets taxed again when we spend that money that has already been taxed?

The only answer is government bloat. These people who rule us refuse to work within a budget they can afford, so they must find a way to increase that budget- which is only possible through more unfair taxation.
