No Federal income tax.
That is the way it was until 1920 and should have remained so.
Each individual State pays an assessment to the Federal government to maintain commerce and military and State Department.
The assessment based upon population and other factors is collected by the State government by whatever method they choose and then sent to DC along with two Senators to watch over the disbursement of said assessment.

With that former system the Feds couldn't bribe the States with gifts of Federal Grants because all the other States would object.
It left the balance of power with the States and with the people themselves, which was the original plan in the Constitution.

A big mess to clean up but nothing compared to the coastal regions and especially
Port Aux Basques, Newfoundland.

I too am at peace Anjel, and pray for what must needs be.

The sun is shining this morning. A good day for cleanup .
We are so blessed and so loved. What an amazing God we have .
I am in awe.

In Christ Pamela

I was just thinking about you Pamela.  So happy to hear you are ok. 

Musterseed:
Thank you Ralph,
As we get older and more decrepit, my husband and I are finding it very difficult
to maintain this property. It’s a lot of physical work and my husband is still waiting
for a new hip and now a knee also, over three years now. The healthcare in Canada
is atrocious, people are dying in emergency rooms now, waiting for care.

It’s getting pretty bad, but with that said, I know that regarding affliction and tribulation,
1 Thessalonians 3:3…….. we are destined for this.

Acts 14:22…..strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue
in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter the Kingdom
of God.

Isaiah 3:11,,,, but WOE  to the wicked, it will be ILL  with him, for what his hands have
dealt out shall be done to him.

And ECC.8:13 also

May God be with us all in these very trials and tribulations, let us pray for endurance
and wisdom to be overcomers in this world.
I think we all here are in the bosom of the Father. What a beautiful place to be.Would we want to be any
where else? I love you all. Hang in there, He is coming.💕

In Christ, Pamela

Wendy:

ralph:
You're welcome Pamela.  :)

Although I am not as far along in age, I can certainly relate to the trials and tribulation. 

It's so terrible that you are dealing with such a  pitiful healthcare system there in Canada.   There is no reason why anyone should be lacking.  Such a shame.  I pray you get the help you need.

With all the trials we must endure, there is also this comforting scripture:

Psalm 34:19
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
But the Lord delivers him out of them all.

He must be coming soon.  I've never seen the world so out of control.

Much love to you.
