Conservative activist Bryan Björnson joins Fightin Words to promote The A1S8 Society, an organization committed to restoring the republic by limiting the federal government to its enumerated constitutional powers. Björnson advocates aggressive action to cut the legs out from under runaway spending by repealing the 1943 Current Payments Tax Act, ending payroll deduction and forcing people to confront how much they pay in taxes.

These questions and more are addressed in this week’s episode.
