I don't want to abolish taxes...

That's exactly the real problem: you are ultimately a socialist who, regardless of the form of taxation, insists that the multi-trillion-dollar spending shall continue. That's why I can't get behind you.

I want abolish the socialist Income tax and the IRS.

Absurd: you are implying that some forms of taxation are non-socialist. And the new agency, whatever its initials, will be no better than the IRS. It will probably be the IRS, with appropriately changed stationery.

Out of all the asinine, absurdly funny things you have written that one is the icing....those who know me are rolling. You are a hoot.

No, but I do think that the armed services are necessary and I want for them to have all of the latest gadgets--that requires money. The federal governments' job is to protect this nation and I want to pay taxes so that that job can be done. period.

Maybe you believe, as the liberals do, that we don't need our armed forces b/c 'if we would just be nice to people then they will be nice back' (said in best whiney, snively voice), but I don't buy that "give peace a chance" crap. You would think that after 9/11 even the dumbest liberal would understand that we need to arm ourselves, but here we are.

Some forms of taxation ARE non-socialist. In fact, taxation has nothing at all to do with socialism. It's on the outgo side that socialism comes into play.

There have been multitudes of non-socialist governments over the 6,000 or so years involved ... and they have ALL taxed.
