American Dream-mare, 31 August 2007

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
EULOGY: Aaron Russo, the maker of *America: Freedom to Fascism*, died August 24, 2007, at age 64. If not for the fact he was battling cancer for an extended period, no one would have blamed us for suspecting CIA involvement in the demise of this Libertarian maverick who openly criticized government subversiveness. But there is no conspiracy. As film-makers like Russo himself have shown us, the conspiracy – is The System itself. Aaron Russo died fighting the good fight, against the cancer in his body and the cancer eating at the American People – the government. We pick up his torch and keep our small parts of the flame lit.
They say there are only two sure things: death and taxes. Aaron Russo is proof there is only one.
Income tax is illegal. It's not a radical battle cry – it's the Constitution. Now that you can't un-know that fact, life is going to get real scary…
In the documentary *America: Freedom to Fascism*, film-maker Aaron Russo (the producer behind *The Rose* and *Trading Places*), goes on a quest to find "the law that states personal income tax is legal." And finds it as elusive as The Holy Grail (with more malarkey surrounding it than Monty Python's quest).
Importuning the IRS and all levels of government body to simply produce that law for him to physically read it for himself, the deflection and misdirection and led-in-circles procrastination leads Russo to a startling conclusion: there IS no such law!
The IRS would rather arrest and terrorize and declare you irrelevant if you request to view that law, in the hopes no one notices that – like ex-attorney general Alberto Gonzales - they are living One Big Lie.
