♣ San Diego

On Tuesday I witnessed an appalling scene of mind-boggling, lemming-like behavior. Thousands upon thousands of San Diegans gathered from miles around to deposit "their taxes" into the waiting bins at the Main Post Office on Midway Drive.

Traffic was backed up all the way to the overpass off-ramp from Interstate 8, and there was an endless stream of foot-traffic as well entering and leaving the Post Office. Even more appalling was to consider that this scene was being repeated in countless cities across our once great nation.

Never mind that Title 26 USC, aka the Internal Revenue Code, imposes no tax liability on the average American citizen's labor. Never mind that not a dime of federal tax collected goes to pay for roads, schools, or defense, but instead goes to international bankers to pay the interest on the national debt. Just never mind! "Dammit, get out of my way, I've got to pay!" And so bushel after bushel, bin after bin, their "tax returns" were harvested and dutifully delivered to the hungry maw of the IRS.

Ron Paul has for the first time on a national stage heralded to all America the fact that only about 40% of the federal budget is derived from personal income taxes, and that if we merely rolled back federal spending to about the level it was at the beginning of the current Bush administration, we could eliminate this surreal annual ritual from America forever.

Marcus Rivchin, an assistant organizer of the group, was there faithfully handing out materials to those willing to take them. Rivchen, a veritable lightning-rod of leadership and energy, was recently instrumental in getting Dan Felzer on the ballot for the 51st Congressional District. There are other San Diego area "Liberty Candidates" as well, running for both state and federal offices.

Many hundreds of common citizens, rich, poor, young, old, from all occupations and ....
