Why is it any more wrong to take 90% than it is to take 40% or even 10%?
Te income tax is slavish in premise. The 16th amendment was designed to control the people and empower the federal government. Even beyond the outrageous tax rates we now suffer this form of direct taxation requires the government to dossier the people and punish those who refuse to submit their papers for approval.
The Fair Tax has problems but none that are as intrusive as the current system. (actually I favor a flat retail tax rather than the FT) We need to repeal the 16th amendment and quite possibly chisel TR's face off Mt Rushmore.
Can we turn TR into Reagan somehow?
