We disagee. My view is unless the revenue spigot is turned off, forget about addressing entitlement. It really does begin and end with income withholding the feds have utilized to extract wealth from the American people's paychecks to make them dependent upon one or another government program.

No one has considered for even one second "turning off the revenue spigot" with the elimination of the income tax.

I would agree that eliminating withholding would make most people much more aware of how much tax they pay. As a business owner, I am painfully aware of the burden.

It is starting to appear that we are only going to address the entitlement problems when they reach the crisis stage, and at that point it will be intergenerational war through the ballot box.
