Perhaps nothing is more unfair in America and in many other parts of the world than the vast chasm between the haves and the have-nots. This is particularly disturbing in a society that declares allegiance to the principles contained in the Declaration of Independence. Tax policy as practiced in the US consists basically of tinkering around the edges. The propriety of the taxation of income is a premise rarely challenged. Nor is the taxation of consumption or taxation based upon use such as car registration fees and park admission fees. This book examines the history of taxation and shows that taxing income is a recent development. The book also examines how sources of moral authority weigh in on the issue. It concludes and argues that only a small tax on wealth is fair and how elimination of all other taxes and fees will result in a more perfect free-market economy, elimination of government's borrowing at the expense of future generations, and a society more like the ideals expressed in the Declaration of Independence. It also discusses what it will take to bring about such a taxation revolution.
In 1990, I faced the biggest challenge of my law-enforcement career when I was recruited for an undercover drug assignment here in East Texas. At this point, there had never been a black undercover narcotic officer in the history of East Texas law enforcement. The top law enforcement officials of East Texas had no idea how bad the drug problem was, and now after all this time, they wanted to know the truth. The white and black kids were becoming completely uncontrollable all over East Texas because of the drug usage. I would later infiltrate so deep into the East Texas drug and criminal world that I gave up hope on coming out alive. I inadvertently would find out additional information about a famous Texas and national murder case called "The Kentucky Fried Chicken Murders" which had occurred in 1984 that was drug-related and involved some very high-profile people. The deception that I had to pull off involving so many people would go on to follow me the rest of my career. My only way out was my deep religious belief in Jesus Christ.
