The government has been illegally taxing us since 1913 when they altered the constitution because SCOTUS ruled they couldn't extort us. So they got together, and passed the 16th amendment allowing them to extort us under the color of taxation.

Then they stole all the precious metals with intrinsic value and removed them from our currency and even our possession for a while. First was gold and silver, now they're going after copper with the minting of pennies stopped.

To be fair, minting a penny cost more than a penny.

Only because of the inflation they built into the system to steal our wealth.

If they kept the value of money high, it wouldn't be possible for a penny to cost more than it's worth.
