Yes, bribing and accepting the bribe unbalances the the whole economic system. How can the source of such easy money be shown on account?

Because governments are evil and they all think they own everything. They'll say stuff like that they provide the street lights and bin collections so they have the "right" to take loads of money off you.

This one is practical: you would be gaining money the government cant afford to pay you. You would be claiming to have money that the government doesn't have record of, and that would be a national incident. If you were to buy something with fake money,you would be stealing from the person who is paid with it. When they turn it into the bank and get arrested, it isn't very fun for them.

Absolutely! You are 100% right on. You think that's all our government does? Check out www.givemeliberty.org There is so much more to it than drugs. But our gov is all about the money.  People don't realize that they will never become rich or successful because our gov suppresses everything. When's the last time you saw a school with a class on being successful or becoming wealthy? It's not that hard but they don't want us to know. They manipulate us to be their worker bees and give them all our money.

Because they lie and force us to "feed" them money that they say they will use for something good but just waste it as they mostly do. If you had the money they had you would be very powerful too.

becuase they can. It's much easier spending money when it's not yours. the only time they are concerned about our needs is when it comes time for re-election. other than that, it's a total waste of our time.

Because they can..and are able to keep proceeds from the sale of seized property...They also seize Boats, Planes and Houses..basically any item of value. Of course that includes cash...Once they seize property even if improperly you need a lawyer and have time and money to get some or all returned. That money is above budgeted amounts and they have practically no limit as to how those proceeds are used..

It appears that way and makes perfect sense! Why wouldn't they trust? Those with the big bank accounts feel safe with our money hungry govt.- they all on the same page- allow the rich to get richer, provide them with the tax breaks. It's all about the "in group" and the middle class gets left out.

This is a really WIDE-ranging question, and it's practically impossible to give you a good answer that's practical for use. Fed Reserve prints money, essentially, "increasing the money supply" (counterfeiting) on demand. It is private, yet govt controlled. The govt simply placed it in "private hands" so they could get away with their political sleight of hand without having to worry about the Constitution. The IMF, of which the US is a member with about 17% of the clout, loans federal reserve funny money and usurious rates, then, eventually, puts anyone small (only large companies can afford usurious rates) out of business, out of house, home, food, and everything else. Ask Jamaica. The federal govt, in taking us off the gold standard, has sentenced the US to eventual economic death.\n\nGo to the web and search for Liberty Dollar. You can trade $10 in federal funny money for real silver, and $1 for silver certificates backed by real silver. If enough of us used this, we could make the US financially solvent again, over the years.

Mainly, they know we've got idiots and bleeding-heart suckers in government, and they're out to take full advantage of it....keep one hand on your wallet, and lock your car...

Because they are greedy and know they can get away with it because the government does not have time to check each return. When it comes down to it, people, in general, will do whatever they think they can get by with.

Buying?..lol, than why didn't they use that money and get industrialized, rather called "developing world"? It is stealing, and these countries happened to be poor and unable to defend their resources, because puppet regimes allowed this to happen.

The government provides protection and services (think highways, police, etc) that contribute to our ability to earn money. It can generally be assumed that people earning money in this country are benefitting from these services, and thus taxes are levied upon them.

because those rich assholes in the government have nothing better to do than to make laws that they know we will break and then they fine us which in turn makes them richer and so on and so on...it's just a big money game
