Would you be in favor of repealing the income tax? If so how would you replace the income for the legitimate purpose of FedGov i.e. military etc?
I do favor repealing the income tax. Both a flat tax or a FAIR type tax would work much better, and be much simpler. The FAIR type would be better, but it’s too damned difficult to explain. The flat system is more sellable, but either would be far far superior to what we have now, which is run by an evil militaristic IRS. The complication in the 70 thousand plus pages is what gives them the power.
BTW, in case you’re thinking about this: countries who impose no income taxes but have extremely high tariffs are almost all countries with no middle class - a small group of crony connected government wealthy types, and mostly poverty. I’ve visited many of them, including 3 in the last 2 months. The population loves their government because they think it’s tax free, not realizing that they are in poverty because government doubles the price of everything coming into their countries.
