Absolutely. And since the income tax directly affects the ability to acquire subsistence we should eliminate it and insutitute a consumption tax that gives one a CHOICE.
Were we not warned by Hamilton in Federalist Paper 79 that “A POWER OVER A MAN’s SUBSISTENCE AMOUNTS TO A POWER OVER HIS WILL”? Absolutely. And since the income tax directly affects the ability to acquire subsistence we should eliminate it and insutitute a consumption tax that gives one a CHOICE.
As to repealing the 16th amendment and prohibiting Congress to lay “any” tax or burden calculated from profits, gains, interest, salaries, wages, tips, or any other lawfully realized money, you won't get any argument from me!
But "CHOICE" under the so call FT? Give me a freaken break buddy! Boortz said the same thing.
NEAL BOORTZ wrote in an article titled ANSWERING A FAIR TAX QUESTION:
“It doesn't matter that paying taxes will be voluntary under the Fair Tax plan. It doesn't matter that nobody pays the retail sales tax on the basic necessities of life.”
But the Boortz assertion that “It doesn't matter that paying taxes will be voluntary under the Fair Tax plan“ is only unassailable if, and only if, the necessities of life and supplies necessary to conduct business are not taxed under the Fair Tax plan. But they are taxed, and to conclude as Neal Boortz and you do, one must pretend that starving one’s self to death and the shutting down of America’s businesses and industries is a rational approach for Americans who wish to choose to avoid paying the “voluntary” tax on the necessities of life and supplies necessary to conduct America’s businesses. And so, we list this assertion of Neal’s, and yours in the MYTH column where it rightfully belongs.
Get real pal.
