My issue w Ms barnhardt is where she says to stop filing tax returns.

Big fat red alert in glowing neon letters!

IIRC, the IRS says barter is income, correct me with a quote from the tax code if I’m wrong.

And how does one tell their employer not to pay them, or to pay them in barter?

IIRC the IRS also defines “contractors”; people tried to categorize themselves as contractors and the IRS got wind of it.... and put rules in the code about it.

So the mechanics of getting out from under the “render to Caesar “ requirement is rather difficult.

IMHO, I’d rather see an across the board 10% flat tax and pitch the code altogether. Everyone pays 10%.

I’d rather see an income tax ONLY for foreign workers in the US and for foreign workers in other countries employed by domestically owned companies and a 10% Tariff on all imported good.

Being a citizen should mean the privlidge of NOT needing to pay Federal income taxes. And Citizenship should be guarded jelously by the populace.

If states want to charge income tax, let them...

Flat tax no good. Within one session of Congress, we’d have progressive rates back. After all, “fairness.”

We must repeal the 16th Amendment.

Then, repeal ALL federal taxes, on everything and everybody.

Then, the FAIR Tax.

And disband all tax-writing committees in the House and Senate.

No, not at all - “... Render to God what is God’s.” If tax-paid government funding is used to promote immorality (as the citizen discerns), then ...
