 7) Do you think that the government (Federal and State) valuing your time at $0/hr for the purposes of income tax is legitimate? The current definition of income tax, a tax on gains above and beyond what you previously, only makes logical sense in the current implementation if the government values your time and labor is valued at $0, thus allowing governments to impose a tax on the entirety of pay received as a trade for labor. Is "income" defined statutorily differently than I've described?
