Not many people know John F. Kennedy actually planned to abolish the IRS with the entire system of injustice and slavery called the FED.
In the last 100 years, America turned from a free land into a bloody dictatorship, but as always, every culture is meant to collapse one day, and this day is moving closer.
Second, having friends and family who grew up in actual dictatorships, I think your understanding of what that word means is effectively meaningless if you think that the US is one. The inability to recognize the difference between a system in need of reform and an actual dictatorship is why some people don’t bother participating in the system in the first place. On the local and state levels, individuals absolutely still have the power to change things; I’ve been doing a lot of (successful!) work on that front in my state and on my city. But even at the federal level, some pretty basic reforms, like setting 18-year Supreme Court term limits, or changing the lower house of Congress to be nationally proportionally elected (which would both empower third-parties and eliminate most gerrymandering) would go a long way towards making things feel more democratic—and those are both achievable aims if enough people want them.
“It is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high today and tax revenues are too low, and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the tax rates.”–John F. Kennedy
his plan to abolish the FED system can only be extrapolated to also regulate the IRS, which would be a logical consequence. JFK focused on VAT much much earlier than many of his contemporary politicans.
I used the term dictatorship very loosely here, so please excuse that. Of course America is not a dictatorship, and being a German myself I have close family which can give me first hand information on how that looks like.
It’s more that companies and a small elite has subverted the American politics. JFK and Abraham Lincoln are just two of the few historical figures which aimed to clean up the ranks of politics from those traitors, the assassination of both was no coincidence (and a fun fact that both are ~100 years apart).
Having read a lot of books by contemporary and historical authors like Ayn Rand and George Bernard Shaw, my understanding of American freedom is reducing as many dependencies as possible.
In Germany we have a very well-working health system, and anybody can go into the hospital with no questions asked who’s going to pay the bill. A true American would criticize here that in this system a German is not motivated to store “hospital money” as a security. Same with schools, which would also be home-funded. However, more and more people don’t want to take this responsibility any more or are already broke paying off their college loans for some big international bank.
If you look at it, I can kind of understand the reasoning. If all schools were “for-profit”, but also state-regulated to fit a certain criteria and central examinations, it would sort out the bad schools from the good. Today, you don’t have too many choices which schools you attend in highly populated areas. Home-schooling can also work if done properly.
However, even private schools are owned by big corporations nowadays, and a principal might not be interested in taking the responsibility for the childrens' education.
Never forget this fact: America has only had income tax for 100 years and it worked very well before that. Too much state is not good, especially if it’s run by greedy politicans who only work for the big corporate. Too little state is also not good.
The American idea of freedom builds on the ideal Kant-image of humans as reasonable and reasoning beings. This may be further from the truth than one would like, however, I think it worked out in the first centuries of America because people actually were struggling for land and had a tough life, BUT also had to take responsibility for the things they owned.
Nowadays, people have tough lives but not often learn to take responsibility. And lack of responsibility is in my opinion one of the most destructive forces of a society (Sorry for throwing so many ideas around, I hope you get my point. I’m not exactly a supporter of the American freedom ideas, but am aware of the traitors that work to impose a new world order on us).
In my opinion, in a society where less and less people take responsibility for what they own and do, the governments’s influence will grow to regulate things.

First, citation needed on JFK.
