Here's what I think ~ the federal personal income tax, which is only one of many taxes, was sold to the people of this country by Progressive Republicans under the stipulation that it would never apply to any but the top 1% or 2% of wage earners.
Today it's ripping off 53% of wage earners.
That proves it is a fraud, and a failure.
Best to abolish the federal personal income tax as just another failed federal program that's long outlived its utility.
Agreed, but you'd need to repeal the 16th amendment. Good luck with that, since it's the progressives main social engineering tool. You might as well ask a carpenter to give up his hammer.
