    The key that opened the door to fed. gov.’s outrageous spending was the income tax, followed by other employment taxes, and ignited by withholding. The graduated income tax was one of the ten planks in Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto designed to undermine the right to private property and thereby individual freedom. The income tax is the Holy Grail of progressives. Americans’ freedom will never be restored so long as the income tax lives and the IRS enforces it–regardless of any restraints of the Bill of Rights.
