Um, you do realize that our taxes go to pay for the intrest on the national debt. Nothing else. (which btw is paid to one of those evil private companies;-) )
Def: That gain which proceeds from labor, business, property, or capital of any kind, as the produce of a farm, the rent of houses, the proceeds of professional business, the profits of commerce or of occupation, or the interest of money or stock in funds, etc.
Unless you're making a PROFIT (such as a business would) from something you do you don't have an income. Working for money is not income, it's equeal exchange. There is no profit, you work and in return you get paid.
