*The Federal income tax code and it’s 67,500 plus plus pages...*

Have you seen Glenn Beck’s action on his TV show? He has a group of assistants printing the tax code on a handful of middle grade printers (not the high speed office monsters, but something a step below). He said it will take days! of non-stop action for the group to finish the printing.

That was before they invented Dreadnought style battleships.

Actually the first Income Tax was instituted under Lincoln to pay for the Civil War. SCOTUS quickly shot it down as un-Constitutional.

Of course that was way back when SCOTUS actually gave a rats a** about the Constitution.

Thats why they did it by amendment the second time around.
Still, I think it was the necessity of a powerful navy that brought on the income tax as we now know it...

I must disagree. A progressive income tax is a plank of the communist manifesto.

NO INCOME TAX, PERIOD.

Without the income tax the government cannot make us indentured servants or slaves. Amend the constitution to outlaw income taxes and property taxes. Go with a national sales tax. Put a stake through the heart of the government beast.

It's bad for our democracy to exempt half the country.

We have a republic not a democracy. Our leaders, the ones on our side, don't seem to know what type of government we have, much less be able to articulate the principles of our form government. Thank g-d for Mark Levin, Rush, Sean, Ann, Laura, and all of the people who can.
