Those of us advocating this plan want to minimize taxation.

Then why are you spending your energy on this shell game? Work on what really matters: eliminating the unconstitutional spending.

So our best chance of reducing spending and government and taxation is to expose the true cost.

You're mistaken: the true cost is negative for many, many people. Shuffling the tax code around won't affect that in the slightest. Recipients of entitlements and other government largesse will still realize that, whether they like taxes or not, it's where their bread is buttered.

Demonstrated preferences, Geezer. You spend energy backing a tax-code change that does nothing to address the real problem, and mock people who point out what the real problem is.

LOL, you sure have a disconnect from reality there. The root problem is and always has been with the electorate and complacence of the Ameircan people. The the govenment we have are where they are because we the electorate put the representatives we have chosen and put there and keep them there.

 

For now I'm trying to convince people to shoulder their responsibility. If enough people decide to go ahead with it, I'm ready to march on Washington with them, muskets a-blazing.

Why should any listen to you.

All you offer is a ship headed through the shoals and pirates with no one at the helm other than your own good self maybe? ROTFLM(_|_)O.

You can keep your guns blazing, testosterone fill view of how to change the course of the ship of state. I'll have no part of your anarchist's view of world utopia. Its a dead end going nowhere.

See, the way this works is this:

I post a comment to you.

You read it. Actually read the words.

Then you respond.

You apparently skipped the 2nd step.

Now go back and try it again because I explained all of that to you already.

When you come back, tell me how successful you have been in eliminating all of that excess, wasteful and blatantly unconstitutional spending? What departments have you eliminated? What spending cuts have you achieved? Who have you elected that has picked up the torch and led us into battle against the government?

I'll save you some time. The answers are ZERO! NONE! NO ONE!

We've been trying it your way for a long time and we keep losing. This is a new approach that once in place will spur tremendous economic growth for mostly everyone and get the government off our backs.

Do you like the income tax? Do you think that it is fair? Do you think that it is constitutional? Do you think that it is American in it's intent and effects?
