got it already, very interesting indeed.
This "Freedom to Fascism" documentary is also bringing very hot subject to the public.

Just watch 15 first minutes and you will see why ...

Unfortunately for us being a Socialist country,we have to pay taxes.But we don't always have to file a tax return.We only have to file if we owe money,or the feds request one for a certain year(s).

I think you can delete the "Socialist" bit there. I can only think of 2 places in the developed world that doesn't have some form of income tax.

I don't know if there is a law or not, but for those that refuse to pay tax can you please not drive on the roads, use the hospitals, the schools, police/fire/ ambulance, goverment programs and agencies, social safety nets etc, etc..

I'm so glad we don't have HMO's. Watch sicko or google health care in the USA. I don't have kids yet, but planning eventually inthe future. Here you have your baby and get to leave for free.....yay. State Side....With insurance $1000-2000. Without insurance 15,000+ pending no complications.....what a joke. The only 1st world country in the world with privatized healthcare....well except Guantanamo Bay(sp?). LOL Yay to Socialized Healthcare. Yeah it takes longer for things. I had hernia surgery when I was 19, I would still be stuck with a $60,000 bill if I was in the US with out insurance...here FREE! We do have it good in Canada. $54/month for healthcare is fine with me. I have a healthy friend in the US, to be fully covered he pays $600 a month, plus has a deductable if he makes a claim.

If we to believe this movie maker then this is common misconception.
All these things you mention are being paid from different taxes and fees:
roads from gasoline tax
Police/fire ambulance from property tax
Don't forget GST & PST,tobacco tax, alcohol tax etc.(the list is long)

He says income tax are Not being used for anything but to pay for inflation i.e. printing more money and not even a penny goes to any of those things that you mention.
That is again If we believe in what Aron Russo is trying to tell in his film.

Yes please!!!

There is a guy that I used to work with. He's from Alberta, and didn't change his vehicle insurance to BC. He hasn't had car insurance since his Alberta plates ran out in July 2006. He says he doesn't think he should have to pay for insurance...says he's not going to hit anyone. Ignorant if you ask me, and one of the many reasons I have the optional "underinsured motorist" plan.
