Let me start this article off by defining the word ,’Tax’.
There are two definitions that I would like to share from dictionary.com .

Tax:
1. A sum of money demanded by a government for its support or for specific facilities or services, levied upon incomes, property, sales, etc.
2. A burdensome charge, obligation, duty, or demand.

Notice how it is defined as ‘demanded by a government’ and a ‘burdensome charge’

Burdensome:
1. oppressively heavy; onerous.
2. stressing; troublesome.

So apparently by common English definition, tax is defined as a sum of money demanded by a government that is oppressively heavy and it causes stress. Heck, to be honest that is a PERFECT definition, is it not?

Taxes in Canada- we are all forced to pay them one way or another whether if you are Native or non Native they will get you. So what exactly are taxes for? Well most people would love to believe that it’s for health care and to better the economy, which virtually is true but only a small percentage of taxes actually goes towards the benefits of the taxpayers.

The Canadian government has cleverly figured out ways to social engineer our conformed consent. After all the Canadian tax system is based on voluntary compliance and without our consent those taxes could not and would not exist.

HISTORY

So let us take a look at a quick history of taxation in Canada going back before confederation up until Income Tax was created.

Before Confederacy: The colonial governments collected taxes and sent them to England and France. In 1650, Louis XIV of France imposed the first recorded tax in Canadian history. It was an export tax of 50% on beaver pelts and 10% on moose hides leaving his colonies.

In 1751: Nova Scotia, began taxing sugar, bricks, lumber, and billiard tables. By the next year, the Nova Scotia government imposed taxes on tea, coffee, and playing cards.

In 1867 – The British North America Act was passed, giving the newly formed Canadian government the power to raise money by taxation.

From 1867 to 1917 — The federal government placed taxes on liquor, beer, malt, cigarettes, cigars, and snuff. In 1870, the federal government raised existing taxes and imposed new import duties on vinegar, wheat, and grain.

August 4, 1914 – Britain declared war on Germany. As a former British colony, Canada instantly found itself in the Great War at Britain’s side. The pressures of financing World War I soon brought the major changes to the tax system.

In 1916 — The federal government got involved in direct taxation by starting a corporation tax known as the business profit war tax. It affected only corporations at the time if their profits were more than a certain percentage of their invested capital. This was the stepping stone in the creation of the Income Tax.

In 1917 – The federal government, led by Sir Robert L. Borden, introduced the Income War Tax Act. “I have placed no time limit upon this measure . . .a year or two after the war is over, the measure should be definitely reviewed.” Sir Thomas White, Minister of Finance re: The Income War Tax Act, 1917.

In July 1917, the federal government imposed a general tax on corporate and personal income.

Revenues from the tax were recorded in the 1916/17 fiscal years, and collected by the Commissioner of Taxation who was part of the Department of Finance.

_____________________________

The year 1917 is basically the year that Income Tax came into existence.

On July 25, 1917 Sir Thomas White, finance minister tabled a resolution which called for income tax: 4% on all income of single men over $2,000. For others, the personal exemption was $3,000.

This was not supposed to outlast WW1 and the revenue created by the tax was strictly to fund the soldiers financial income and to be able to produce and supply war machines with their accessories.

Today when we pay our Income Tax we are literally funding war and virtually our own enslavement because it is our money that pays the soldiers and police to do the government’s deeds. Income Tax does not go towards fixing roads, health care and any other thing that one would think it should go towards. Instead it goes right into the hands of the government and they use that money for their own political agenda’s.

THEREFORE, INCOME TAX IS A FRAUD!!
