CALLER &#8211; Mr. Supinski, does my country own the Federal Reserve System?
MR. SUPINSKI &#8211; We are an agency of the government.

While many view those who refuse to pay taxes on the basis that it is unconstitutional as crackpots, Tom Cryer only asked the Government to show him where they get their authority to tax him and he would gladly pay all of his taxes.

		<description><![CDATA[Today most Americans have accepted the devaluation of the U.S. dollar as commonplace. They believe it is just a consequence of having paper currency.

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, the Virginia Legislature passed (in its infinite wisdom) HB 3202, more commonly known as the Civil Remedial Fees Bill.  Now before I go into my Constitutional tirade against this bill let me point out there are a few good features.  First of all, it increases the cost of a DUI to $750 (misdemeanor) or [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rationalactivist.wordpress.com&blog=917211&post=21&subd=rationalactivist&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
