It’s called a competing idea. The average American would love to see the federal income tax axed, along with the IRS. The DemoSocialists want to use the income tax as a weapon to punish those who are successful and reward those who are slackers. The income tax system is just another socialist tool, and we the people don’t really want it. If 70% of Americans would like to end the federal income tax, and if they speak up, it will in fact be eliminated.

The average American doesn't pay income tax, he gets a check from the socialist Dems. Income taxes are paid in large part by about 5% of the population, and almost entirely by 20%. Others down to the 50% line pay nominal amounts, and receive about as much at the midpoint. The entire lower half of the population gets money from the tax code (other than payroll), not the reverse.

Yeah, that's going to work just about as well as the illegal immigration amnesty that is coming down the pipe next year. 85% oppose it. Care to put down a wager that it won't pass next year????
