HOW CAN A TAX BE ‘JUST’ WHEN BASED ON A FRAUDULENT ACCOUNTING, OR BOOK-KEEPING SYSTEM?

The daily papers tell the story of WHAT is happening but do not tell WHY it is so. “Farm Debt Heat Builds” : “Declarations to help growers hit by high power, water cost” : “Foreign investment in agriculture won’t make it rain money” : “Transport costs in focus”. In the 1994 postscript of “A Just Tax” Geoffrey Dobbs explained how he came to write the 1952 article for Theology a leading UK Anglican theological journal. It seems the theological world was “ransacked” for someone who had any ideas on the subject of “the just limits of taxation” – but none could be found and an approach was made to Geoffrey Dobbs.
Geoffrey writes: “It seems that then, as now, while there was any amount of passionate discussion in the churches about the distribution of the taxation levied on different classes of the community, the moral nature of taxation itself, or of the money of which it consists, was scarcely ever then, nor is it now, considered in the light of Christian theology.”

According to a report released Monday by the Tax Foundation, this year Tax Freedom Day falls 111 days into 2014, on April 21.
By April 21, to group says, Americans will have made enough to pay the $3 trillion in federal taxes and $1.5 trillion in state taxes — more than they will spend on food clothing and housing combined.
Tax Freedom Day is later than it was last year, due in large part to the slow economic recovery, the tax policy research group argues.

Swiss referendums, 2013...

This Is The Age Of Civil Unrest...

All governments had better open their eyes for we are on the brink of a major convergence between both the Cycle of Civil Unrest, Civil War & Revolution and International War. Both of these models converge and as I pointed out at the Cycles of War Conference, this is the first time we have seen this convergence since the 1700s.
