How can you be taxed when there is no tax?

category international | history and heritage | other press author Saturday October 25, 2008 22:44author by Daniel J Towsey Report this post to the editors

in a real democracy the people own and control their government. In a real democracy the government has its own central bank (The Bank of Canada) and the government controls the distribution and manufacture of currency (Money, Dollars).

How can you be taxed when there is no tax?

Some thirty five years ago when I attended Seneca College in Toronto. The teacher assigned me to do a presentation in front of the class. She left it up to me to pick a topic.

So I decide to do some research on an idea I got when I read an old article about the fact that there was no income tax before the second world war.

The people were told that the Federal Government needed a temporary income tax to pay for the cost of the second world war. (Which was a huge lie)

So I wondered why we still had this tax and how was it possible for our government to function just fine before this new temporary federal income tax existed?

So I stood in front of the class and I asked the class the question “How can we be taxed when there is no tax?”
