Conservative economist and intellectual Walter Williams’ recent article pulls no punches. The brilliant author pithily explains how our government has perverted the Constitution to allow itself to garnish our wages in what it calls “taxation.”

The comic strip “Pogo” comes to mind: “We have met the enemy, and he is us.”
