I painted this as a small mixed media painting. Now available as prints small to large. Clara Bow was a wild child and silent Movie star. She was the Original “It” girl. Meaning she had “It” a great appeal! We all know what ended the roaring 20′

I must be thinking a lot about the roaring twenties, it seems history repeats itself with the depression that we are in now.

When I first started to sell my art things looked very promising. Since then I have seem my business and that of many other artist shrivel, with the worst dip since 2008 and a total crash since last year. To add insult to injury the Federal Government has suddenly created this new Tax Audit program to go after self employed people with a new form of very aggressive audit. Turns out for some reason or another I ended up on their audit/interrogation list. I had to give them, not only my business documents of income, like bank account etc but also my PERSONAL documents, what I spend money on, charitable donation ( even those not part of my tax filing) how much for groceries, how much for personal expense etc etc. I was told there were no flags but I was chosen by a “COMPUTER”. The implication was that I was hiding money. Well it was very upsetting and considering my low income level ridiculous to think the Federal government must have spend more on the two day personal financial interrogation ( I refuse to except this as a pure audit, since it was all about my personal finances, I call it an interrogation without due process), then it could have gained which ended up being nothing, since they did not find any hidden treasures. I should  have told the IRS interrogator “If you find my hidden money, please let me know, because I could really use it just about now”!

The IRS is a radical organization who goes after those that can not defend themselves. People like artists, waiters, waitresses, hair dressers and small one person entrepreneurs that can’t afford lawyers. The IRS threatens people and extorts money from them. The 16th amendment gives Congress powers to empower the IRS which is in turn extorts money from “the people” at the threat of violence and incarceration, and you are not even protected by any due process as you may be in a criminal investigation. The IRS did not have to get a warrant to demand my personal documents, all they had to do is send me a letter and say, “Give us this and this and this and the law requires you to do so. We have to right to ask you for it!”

I just can’t wait for things to turn around but a few things must happen for that to happen.

When the Federal Reserve System was established in 1913, creating a private baking cartel, giving private banks absolute power over our money, it was the beginning of devaluation of the purchasing power of the dollar. It’s time to put and end to printing money out of nothing and destroying the value of our currency. It’s time to hold the Federal Reserve accountable, starting with an AUDIT of the Federal Reserve, it’s time to find out where and to whom, all this printed money goes! It’s time to also repeal the unconstitutional 16th amendment as well. Ratified in 1913 the same year the Federal reserve was established. Giving the Government and an International Baking Cartel total power over our money and income. “Those that control the money, will control the people!”

16th Amendment [Proposed 1909; Questionably Ratified 1913]

The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

————————————————————————-

The 16th amendment has got to be repealed!

Maybe then we can start to get back to prosperity and liberty, both necessary for happiness.

Maybe we can then have “The Roaring Teens, bring back flapper fashions, and not have to struggle so much”
