We are long overdue to enact new laws to increase taxpayer protections and outlaw & repeal the income tax, --- with a fair and consumption-based tax.

"-- The broad-based income tax necessitates a large invasion of financial privacy that a low-rate consumption-based tax could avoid --"

This, and filling the pockets of politicians and their cronies, is what taxes are all about. Control of the masses.

Yep, -- makes you wonder why many 'conservatives' on FR oppose such a tax..

I don't think it's that hard to figure out why. Some people on here on FR will oppose ANYTHING that goes against whatever happens to be the official gubmint policy no matter how harmful it is.

True. They must be 'social conservatives' or some such.
