"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton
 
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan
 
"A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792
 
"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams
 
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

It would be nice but this is just political grandstanding. Too many accountants and lawyers depend on the byzantine tax code for their livelihood.

"A simple flat tax." On what? Income? Here is a government bureaucrat with his handy dandy 20,000 page manual to help you decide what is income.

Idiots! A flat tax may be 'fairer' but it WILL NOT be more 'fiddle proof'.

OBAMACARE - gone, too? TOTALITARIANCARE must go.

Above all, if you wish to be strong, begin by rooting out every particle of socialism that may have crept into your legislation. - Bastiat

It’s time for whistleblowers to step up./sarcasm The GESTAPO has its own program (its not what you might think) with rewards...

I’d like to see a national sales tax.

Everyone pays.

No one files a return.

No exemptions.

Pay at the cashier.

For sure! However, only really helps if you reject the extension that the 16th Amendment allowed DC to levy direct taxes upon citizens. I don't believe this. It was formalizing the Corporate Excise Tax of 1908(ish) which the USSC found unconstitutional; congress formalized it.

Apportionment is the _only_ way to stabilize the sovereign status of US states verses DC.

The reason that the mortgage deduction is left in is that when surveyed years ago, people said they wouldn’t vote for a flat tax because they would lose their mortgage deduction. Stupid but true. We have to share this could country with some pretty dim CFL’s. (that’s a play on words there.)
(hopefully people know what a play on words is, but I’m not so sure sometimes.)
(The word is bulbs as in light bulbs.)
(CFL is compact fluorescent light)
(sometimes things just aren’t funny when you have to explain them in detail)

Replacing the income tax with a "simpler" income tax is not the answer.

The income tax, in any form, is a Tyrannical abomination.

Federal taxes should be consumption (sales) based.

And if the rate is too high, it means that government is too big. The solution is not to have higher rates but to make government smaller and bring it within its Constitutional bounds.

The current tax code is written the way it is for these reasons.

To make one person think he is getting a benefit from the government at another’s expense.

To take money from those who earn it legally and honestly and give it to those who vote for more government.

To intimidate the public, and keep them in constant fear of their government and to train them to be compliant sheep.

The politicians wrote it the way it is with full knowledge of what they are doing. They like it that way, and will fight tooth and nail to keep it the way it is.

HEY ALRIGHT!

I’m all about eliminating the IRS - but a flat tax won’t do that. A flat tax keeps the IRS, keeps paycheck withholding, keeps payroll taxes, is not border adjusted, and keeps business taxes.

A national retail sales tax fixes [eliminates] all those problems.

If that happened, Lois slow Learner wouldn’t have been forced to testify and take the 5th time after time, after time, after time, after time, after time, after time, after time, after time.

Abolish all forms of taxation other than a truly flat tax; everyone pays the same amount of tax each year. Everyone.
