As two of these billboards take great pains to identify Americans as "taxpayers", perhaps it is worth pointing out that Title 26 of The United
States Code clearly defines "taxpayer", not once, but twice!
Section
7701 of 16 USC defines "taxpayer" as such:
(14) Taxpayer
The term “taxpayer” means any person subject to any internal revenue tax.
And
Section 1313 defines "taxpayer" as such:
(b) Taxpayer Notwithstanding section 7701 (a)(14), the term “taxpayer” means any person subject to a tax under the applicable revenue law.
Let us never mind that very few Americans have even a slight clue as to how they became "subject to" the tax code under applicable revenue laws, let
us just ask the question, when exactly was it that Americans stopped referring to themselves as Americans and began referring to themselves as
"taxpayers"? Was it prior to the Revolution of Independence in 1776? Of course not! Was it prior to the Civil War? Nope. Was it after 1913 and
the passage of an income tax in perpetuity that had never existed before that? Yep. Which is funnier, that billboards make fun of Obama and the
"taxpayers" who voted for him, or the people who paid for these billboards that identify with the term "taxpayer"? Neither one is funny, and the
hallow shell of Americans today, has nothing at all to do with the Revolutionaries who fought a war of Independence sparked by a tax on tea! Not an
income tax, which was non existent back in 1775, but a tax on tea for Christs sakes. We've come a long way baby, and in the wrong damn direction.
