I HATE income tax but the sales tax would be worse. If the government was cut down to the small size it should be and the 16th Amendment was repealed, maybe we could go back to things like import and export tariffs for government income. Tariffs still act as a tax on us becasue it raises the prices of good and services but a legitimate small government needs some kind of revenue.

IMO, a legitimate federal government is one that is basically limited to protecting our lives and freedoms from without by maintaining a STRONG defense and intelligence community. Protecting our lives and freedoms within our borders is mainly a state judiciary function unless it's a Constitutional issue.
