You seem to think that freedom means a world in which you are allowed to hide your assets from the government. You have never been allowed to do that. You're going to have to change the law, and because you live in more or less a democracy, you're going to have to convince people that its good to change the law.

- bruiseralmighty 4y agoHistory did not start in 1913. Income is not an asset, they have been two different things for longer than the United States has existed as a country. Most governments in recorded history have managed to exist without taxing income. It would in fact be better live in a country with financial privacy where assets form the tax base instead of income. In terms of convincing the public, I think time will do the former and education the later.
