In 1776, the colonists declared Independence from England in large part due to the many onerous Acts thrust upon them by Parliament including the Stamp Act in 1765 the Tea Act in 1773. The combination of these burdensome Acts on the colonies coupled with “Intolerable Acts” that severely limited the colonists Liberties, America rebelled. America won her liberty finally in 1783, only to see American’s freedoms put in a permanent state of peril with the successful progressive class warfare argument that resulted in the 16th Amendment in 1913. 

Politicians and government bureaucrats discovered, is they can manipulate the 71,000+ page tax code to reward their cronies and punish their enemies.

The legacy of the IRS is one of scandals, malfeasance, criminality, incompetence and terror – yet Americans, for the most part tolerate it. Why? The history of IRS abuses of common citizens is legendary, and the stories you will read in this book are chilling.

Why has the IRS become “weaponized”, spending $11 million on guns and ammo in the last 10 years?  Surely Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson and Samuel Adams would have never let such an abusive form of government exist in the United States. Why do we?

Webster’s Dictionary defines a Renaissance Man as: “a present-day man who has acquired profound knowledge or proficiency in more than one field.”

David Thomas Robert’s definitely fits the description of a modern-day Renaissance Man. Roberts is an entrepreneur, inventor and author. Roberts founded a telecom technology firm based on a software idea he created and was awarded a U.S. Patent for it. That firm is now a multi-million global consulting firm that created an entire industry. Roberts is still the CEO of the company.

Roberts’ first foray into the world of writing resulted in his inaugural political suspense thriller, “Patriots of Treason,” which was followed by “A State of Treason” which won several Best Fiction awards. Both books became Best Sellers and created a throng of dedicated readers who anxiously await the next chapter of protagonist and Texas Ranger icon, Pops Younger in his Patriots Series. The next book in his series releases in August 2018 and is titled, “Purge on the Potomac.”

Roberts’ experience with his inaugural book again fanned the flames of his entrepreneurial spirit as he launched Defiance Press & Publishing. Defiance Press has already become factor in bringing conservative and libertarian themed titles to the market.

At the encouragement of his four grown children, Roberts penned “Unemployable: How to be Successfully Unemployed Your Entire Life.” Although this book crossed into a completely different genre (Non-Fiction: Business), Roberts again experienced success as “Unemployable” was awarded Best Business Book of the Year – 2017 by the Texas Authors Association.

In May 2019 Roberts released his highly-anticipated non-fiction treatise on "The Death of Liberty" - The Socialist Destructions of America's Freedoms using the Income Tax. Roberts conducted two years of extensive research, citing over 250 sources in his critical panning of the root of Socialism in America and how we are on the precipice of a new Socialist era with the rise of the Democratic Socialists.

Roberts plans for 2020 include “The Hero of Kaltenhaus” which is based on a true-story of Robert’s grandfather, World War II hero Sargent Thomas Nicholson, based in France and the liberation of Dachau concentration camp. Also, expect another book in 2018 in The Patriots series.

Roberts, a “Naturalized” Texan lives in Montgomery, Texas with his wife of thirty-four years and along with his four children, now has four grandchildren and counting as of this writing.

Eye opening and insightful look at our steady decline
This book was filled with very well researched information and historically backed actions that have lead up to the burdensome tax environment we live int today. If we were to look at many of the actions in our history that have slowly led us to the place we are in, many of us are likely to agree with each action, however taken as a whole and with they steady increase in taxes without any oversight in spending and nearly never withdrawing a tax once its root cause is remedied, has put us into a downward spiral. In my opinion this book touches on the heart of a big issue that will one day be significant enough for another revolution.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truth is often hard to hear, but hear it we must, for our children's sake

This book is a must read. Yes, none of us like to pay taxes, but it has been like this all of my life and probably all of yours. This book points out and names names of how we came to be NOT free and apparently willing to live under a Marxist system. We are demonstrably not free. Learn the history we never learned and our kids definitely did not learn. At some level we know this, but the eye opening look at how both democrats and republicans use this socialist system to unfairly reward the undeserving and bilk the hard working responsible people will have you mad, mad, mad. The book also gives some possible solutions, if we are willing to throw off our comfortable chains and do the hard work. For my purposes, I don’t believe we have the national will to accomplish real freedom in America as a whole and it will take peaceful political divorce from DC and blue states with a complete constitutional reset to remove immoral income and property taxes and put limits on ambitious corrupt men in both parties to achieve really small limited government again. I pray we are not too late.

5.0 out of 5 stars The IRS-the beginning of Socialism
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2019
Verified Purchase
The Death of Liberty provides the history of the 16th amendment, which provides for a progressive socialist income tax; and a present system that "creeps into our sacred, God-given rights to Liberty." It is a history and a present that I did not appreciate. As I read, I could feel the undertow of the author's frustration and cynicism with the IRS, its corruption and use by the federal government. A striking reality is that "the American people are underwriting the destruction of their own freedom and way of life by lavishly financing through federal and state grants the very social scientists who are undermining our national sovereignty and preparing our children to become the dumbed-down vassals of the new world order." As a parent and an advocate, I've seen these programs with my own eyes. I highly recommend this book. Arm yourself with knowledge.

As Robert G. Bernhoft, Esq. says in his forward; "Socialism is the disease, the income tax the malignancy, and Roberts’ The Death of Liberty the cure." Once again Dave Roberts has hit a home run. This is a must read book for everyone concerned about the direction our country is heading.

I've read several IRS books in the past and this one was great. I haven't seen a book about the income tax focus on the progressive and socialist political agenda that the income tax accomplishes. The book is worth checking out for that reason alone.

If you read Dave Roberts, The Death of Liberty, you can never go back. Not only will you be newly knowledgeable and empowered, you will begin to sound like a crafty business professional to the point that your friends will shut up when you clear your throat to speak. Roberts lays out how America and you got into a financial mess and where to find the light at the end of the tunnel. Better than that, he shows you where the light switch is located. How nifty.
