Sean Hannity is POd because about half the folks who have to file a federal income tax return don't owe any federal personal income taxes.
That was Ronald Reagan's plan.
Real Conservatives are against the federal personal income tax.
” - - about half the folks who have to file a federal income tax return don’t owe any federal personal income taxes. “
You have made my point.
Those who vote are about 55 % of us of voter age.
Those who do not send money to Sheriff of Nottingham Timmy Gee are as you say “ — about half the folks —.”
The next step will be a much higher income bracket who “ - - - don’t owe any federal personal income taxes. “
Finally the 1 % who now pay 80 % of the taxes will be outvoted 99 to 1 on every single election from then on.
Yes, Governor Perry is for repealing the 16th Amendment and getting rid of the IRS. He’d prefer a flat tax.
“Second, we should restrict the unlimited source of revenue that the federal government has used to grow beyond its constitutionally prescribed powers.
“One option would be to totally scrap the current tax code in favor of a flat tax, and thereby make taxation much simpler, easier to follow, and harder to manipulate. Another option would be to repeal the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution (providing the power for the income tax) altogether, and then pursue an alternative model of taxation such as a national sales tax or the Fair Tax. The time has come to stop talking about fixing the broken and burdensome tax code and to take bold action to replace it with one that is not a burden for the taxpayer and that provides only the modest revenue needed to perform the basic constitutional functions of the federal government. America needs a fairer, flatter, and simpler system, one which working families can complete without having to hire a bevy of professionals to assist them.”
