For those of us that were born after laws about taxation had been ped if you didn't vote for the tax is ...?

You pose a question I constantly ponder. U.S. currency is nothing but fiat money, having only the value the U.S. govt says it has. In 1933 the U.S. dollars were worth GOLD. Then with the Act of 1933, the gold standard was abolished and the Federal Reserve was created. There is much we don't know about how this all came about. It bothers me. And the rate we are taxed at the federal, state and local level is ludicrous.
