One thing most people don't realize about federal income tax is that no law exists that states anyone actually has pay it. The only type of inforcement that the federal government has to justify the tax is a group of lowlife thugs called the IRS.
Your income tax doesn't pay for roads, schools, war, social programs, ect., it does one thing --- pay the interest on the national debt, which grows by the second. Apply this knowledge to the fact that recent legislation has been passed to increase the national debt by bailing out criminals and you will see where our taxes are headed... UP.
Before I am flamed I hope people will do some god damn research. I'm doing one thing to prepare for the future, buying ammo for the 'ol AR-15.
EDIT: BTW I strongly agree with Rick and pdgdp's statements on this thread, very intelligent posts...
