Q: In the past you have said you would like to eliminate income taxes in favor of a national sales tax. Is that still your stand?Abolish the 16th Amendment ping.A: "I think the oppressive burden of taxation is a discouragement to productivity and job creation and so I've never seen a tax increase that I liked. I'm an opponent of federal income tax. I think it's a system that heavily damages our economic prospects by taking control and the resources out of the hands of people. I want to see it abolished and replaced with a national sales tax, a system that leaves the control of all our earnings in our own hands until we decide how to save it, how to invest it and how to spend it. Instead of taxing our productivity it will only tax us when we are in the public market place."
In terms of liberty, privacy and prosperity, the elimination of the income tax and the implementation of the FairTax is without a doubt the best possible thing we can do for ourselves, our children and our grandchildren.
I for one am grateful to Alan Keyes for helping keep this critical issue at the forefront for the last decade.
More and more Americans are waking up to what needs to be done, thanks in part to his leadership.
