Taxes
To tax (from the Latin taxo; "I estimate", which in turn is from tangō; "I touch") is to impose a financial charge or other levy upon a taxpayer (an individual or legal entity) by a state or the functional equivalent of a state such that failure to pay is punishable by law. A tax "is not a voluntary payment or donation, but an enforced contribution, exacted pursuant to legislative authority" and is "any contribution imposed by government […] whether under the name of toll, tribute, tallage, gabel, impost, duty, custom, excise, subsidy, aid, supply, or other name." [Black's Law Dictionary, p. 1307 (5th ed. 1979)]
The Time Is Now: Ronald Reagan
Ronald Reagan talks about our problems today, in 1980, thirty years ago. High taxes, high unemployment, lack of domestic oil, and international chaos are not unique to the Obama regime. Reagan addresses them all in his acceptance speech for candidate for president of the US at the RNC in 1980.
The only edits I made was to remove applause. The words are as he spoke them at the RNC in July of 1980.
For those of you at odds with the direction Obama is taking our country, watch and listen. Reagan was right then and is right now.

Harry Reid: Paying income tax in America is Voluntary
Harry Reid is the Majority Leader in the U.S. Senate. He's obviously not very bright. But then again... he is a politician.
I'm tempted to call him a liar, but he seems too confused.
