IntroText	<p> <span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Written on the side of the Internal Revenue Service building in Washington, DC, is the phrase “Taxes are what we pay for a civilized society.” These words have been used for decades to justify the forcible confiscation of wealth, but the sentiment behind the phrase is of course much older. </span></p>
Description	<p> <b id="internal-source-marker_0.4816303220577538" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;"><span class="style22"><font size="2"><font color="#555555">Attendance is open to high school students and anyone concerned about the heavier and heavier tax burden. There is no fee for on-site attendance, but pre-registration is required. For others who are interested in participating in this event, online attendance is available through Mises Academy. </font><em><font color="#555555">For more information about attending the seminar online, please </font><a href="https://academy.mises.org/courses/tax-hs/"><font color="#3333ff">click here</font></a><font color="#555555">.</font></em></font></span></span></b></p> <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"> <br class="kix-line-break" /> <b id="internal-source-marker_0.4816303220577538" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Written on the side of the Internal Revenue Service building in Washington, DC, is the phrase “Taxes are what we pay for a civilized society.”  These words have been used for decades to justify the forcible confiscation of wealth, but the sentiment behind the phrase is, of course, much older. </span></b></p> <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"> <br /> <b id="internal-source-marker_0.4816303220577538" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Far from producing civilization, the reality of taxation is something much different. Taxation makes society less efficient, less stable, and poorer, while providing the state with the ability to wage wars, imprison millions of citizens for petty non-violent offenses, and regulate every aspect of the taxpayers’ lives. </span></b></p> <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"> <b id="internal-source-marker_0.4816303220577538" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">As Murray Rothbard pointed out, taxation is the worst method of looting us. Inflation, for example, is destructive, of course, and it might make a loaf of bread cost $10. But at least you get a loaf of bread. With taxation, you get nothing.</span></b></p> <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"> <br /> <b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Schedule </span></b><b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">(On-site and online)<br /> All times Central Time Zone.</span></b><br /> <br /> <b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">9:30 a.m. Registration (on-site)</span></b><br /> <b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">9:40 a.m. Welcome<br /> 9:45 a.m. <a href="http://wiki.mises.org/wiki/Joseph_Salerno">Dr. Joseph Salerno</a>, Mises Institute and Pace University, <em>The Myth of a Fair Tax</em><br /> 10:15 a.m. <a href="https://mises.org/authors/987/Matt-McCaffrey">Matthew McCaffrey</a>, University of Angers, <em>Taxes and the Black Hole of Government Spending</em><br /> 10:45 a.m. <a href="http://mises.org/authors/1279/Daniel-J-Sanchez">Daniel Sanchez</a>, Mises Institute, <em>Taxes and History</em><br /> 11:15 a.m. Discussion<br /> 11:30 a.m. Adjourn</span></b></p> <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"> <br /> <b id="internal-source-marker_0.4816303220577538" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The Mises Bookstore will be open throughout the day, with student discounts.</span></b></p> <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"> <br class="kix-line-break" /> <b id="internal-source-marker_0.4816303220577538" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://mises.org/content/driving.asp"><span style="color: rgb(23, 101, 188); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Driving directions </span></a><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">to the Mises Institute.</span></b></p> <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"> <b id="internal-source-marker_0.4816303220577538" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;"> </span></b></p> <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"> <b id="internal-source-marker_0.4816303220577538" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">To register for the April 15 seminar please contact Kristy Holmes at 334-321-2101 or <a href="mailto:kristy@mises.com">email her</a> or use the form below.</span></b></p> <div> <p> <iframe align="middle" frameborder="0" height="829" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="yes" src="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/embeddedform?formkey=dE1TZHZuaEdLRFk5a3JZYkdJZVNtU3c6MA" width="620">Loading...</iframe></p> </div> <p>  </p>
