Firstly, Americans need to recognize that we have NO SOVEREIGN government (C.A.Fitts has addressed this issue many times–maybe Stew should do an update with Fitts). Obediently paying the ‘unconstitutional Income Tax’ (created in 1913) is Un-American in an ironic re-evaluation of the historical record. And yet–when a “sovereign” mislabels themselves as a “taxpayer-citizen”–they are in effect conceding to the idea of becoming chattel. While many Americans may become agitated and angry regarding how this ‘former’ Republic spends the Treasury ducats, we remain complicit and complacent as long as we agree to the terms dictated by the traitors who continue to support what Eisenhower labeled as the MIC. Complaining and voting won’t correct the problems that are endemic to the DC criminal matrix. This brings to mind a certain series of events that occurred from 1775 until the 1776 outcome. Then, in 1812-13, the government signed off on a shifty treaty with the Brit Royals. By the time the 20th century rolled around, the US was well on the way to Oligarchy and Corporate rule–constitutional law be damned! What we have today is nothing less than Techno-Fascism. [kudos to Stew and crew for making efforts to defy the fake news matrix!]
