Yes, in a world without income...............

One can envision a world where there is both apparent price stability and no income taxes.

I can also envision a world in which unicorns turn food into Skittles.

But just because I can envision it, doesn't mean it's going to happen.

Yes. Just not the way the retard who wrote this thinks...

Reduce the size and scope of the FedGov to strictly it’s Art 1 Sec 8 responsibilities and you could run the whole shooting match off user fees and excise taxes.

Especially once you start selling off the FedGovs current ill gotten assets.

The truth is... the Federal Reserve is NOT FEDERAL..
It is a private for profit Bank.. OWNED not completely but partially by FOREIGNERS..

And creates currency out of NOTHING.. Fiat Currency.. Magic Bucks.. that it LOANS to the American people that MUST PAY back WITH interest..

Did I say Magic Bucks.. Fiat Currency?..
Nevermind Most Americans could care less..
Americans are pretty much like blond teenaged girls that have no idea where the “MONEY” comes from..
OR EVEN CARES.. but would get pretty bitchy if it ((STOPS))..

Since the original meaning of 'income' in this country was goods coming into the country and NOT taxes on the wages of labor, I'd be happy with a world that would stop trying to redefine words to suit their own agenda.

Can a power, granted for one purpose, be transferred to another? If it can, where is the limitation in the constitution? Are not commerce and manufactures as distinct, as commerce and agriculture? If they are, how can a power to regulate one arise from a power to regulate the other? It is true, that commerce and manufactures are, or may be, intimately connected with each other. A regulation of one may injuriously or beneficially affect the other. But that is not the point in controversy. It is, whether congress has a right to regulate that, which is not committed to it, under a power, which is committed to it, simply because there is, or may be an intimate connexion between the powers. If this were admitted, the enumeration of the powers of congress would be wholly unnecessary and nugatory. Agriculture, colonies, capital, machinery, the wages of labour, the profits of stock, the rents of land, the punctual performance of contracts, and the diffusion of knowledge would all be within the scope of the power; for all of them bear an intimate relation to commerce. The result would be, that the powers of congress would embrace the widest extent of legislative functions, to the utter demolition of all constitutional boundaries between the state and national governments. When duties are laid, not for purposes of revenue, but of retaliation and restriction, to countervail foreign restrictions, they are strictly within the scope of the power, as a regulation of commerce. But when laid to encourage manufactures, they have nothing to do with it. The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress, than the power to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws of the states.

If they scaled back the operation to absolute minimum, it could work.
No new value is created by printing money, if you print too much, value is taken from the cash already out there, no matter where it's hidden.
On the other hand, as the economy grows, we need more money in circulation to match the value of goods and services, to make sure there is enough for the economy to work.
That's the delicate balance act that the Fed used to perform, until Bernanke started running the presses 24/7.

We’re all adults.

We can get the job done without thumbing through one another’s bank accounts, property holdings, retirement plans and charitable gifts.

In fact..at this point I think its pretty safe to say ..the Income Tax has about run its course. Until we do something about this..we can all only expect more of the same...

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

Misapplication of the 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913, The Social Security Act of 1936.; Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933; and various State “income” taxes. We call it “paying your fair share”.
