When you stop feeding the beast (big govt.) the beast dies. That is what W is attempting to do....cut off the revenue source.

W could become the greatest President ever if he pulls this off, and I know he would love to do so...along with Social Security reform.

W came in with a good look at EVERYTHING that is wrong and asked why we must put up with all this crap. SS can't survice. The IRS is flawed. We can't live with terrorism. Moral values are eroding in this country. Let's START the process to fix it all.

And don't give me any "CAN'T DO" crap. WE run this place, in case you've forgotten.

This is not an attempt to quit feeding the beast, it is merely an effort to eliminate the income tax as a means to fund the beast.

Unless he seriously, significantly, and meaningfully cuts spending, the beast will live on. It will only be funded by a flat tax or someother mechanism.

The flat tax, or VAT, or whatever, is another invisible - because it is so incremental - means of taxation. If you want to see people get outraged, eliminate the payroll deduction and have people write weekly checks for their tax payments.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

You cannot have a fiscally conservative tax policy and liberal social spending policies and balance the budget. Can't happen.
