Someone please contact me when NOTAX.org is being taken seriously, because the only fair tax is NO TAX!

Considering the constitution mandates that taxes be used to pay for the nation's debts, provide for the common defense and the general welfare of the United States, i.e the proper exercise of its enumerated powers of government, I would say you have a long wait.

I don't suggest that you hold your breath in your vigil.

Common defense is one thing and taxes placed on goods coming from other countries into the U.S. could cover that.

As for the "nation's debts" and "general welfare", I'll take a page out of the book of the seperation of church and state crowd and turn it 180 degrees. Charity is the realm of the church and the state has NO BUSINESS being in the charity business. That would include individual welfare, corporate welfare, farm subsidies, foreign aid, etc. Get the government out of the charity business and the nation's debt disappears.

If individual states want to provide charity that would be up to the individual state and we would be free to move to the state with like minded Americans and no longer be the victims of extortion.
