We need instead to end the income tax.

Repeal the 16th and 17th Amendments. A tax on wages is immoral, we all need to work to provide for our families. Before taxes, humans had to work and barter and trade. It is human nature to work to provide for our clans, and immoral to take those wages. Also, election of Senators gives too much power to political parties. Repeal the 17th and let the states appoint their representatives again the way it was originally designed to protect federalism.

I don’t oppose all taxes, but the income tax on wages earned from labor are antithetical to human nature. I’m always amazed at how the left cries about every single creature on earth while they deny, ignore and suppress human nature. We are intelligent, we adapt, we build, we invent, we help and heal and contribute. The things we do are our nature just as the beaver’s nature to build damns.

“Ignorant, Irresponsible or Insane? A Federal Tax On Wealth!”

None of the above...it’s criminal just like the tax code in general.

“We need instead to end the income tax.”

If that dunce AOC has her way, no one will have to work anyway in her utopia, so there won’t be any taxes to collect.
LORD please deliver the sane people in America from these kooks.

The income tax, at least, is Constitutional. The wealth tax—as demonstrated in my article—clearly is not. Think tactics. If you can break the enemy’s lines in a battle, and rout their attack, you do not want to get drawn into drawn out stalemates on adjacent fronts.

"We need instead to end the income tax"

A little history here "The roots of IRS go back to the Civil War when President Lincoln and Congress, in 1862, created the position of commissioner of Internal Revenue and enacted an income tax to pay war expenses. The income tax was repealed 10 years later."

"n 1913, Wyoming ratified the 16th Amendment, providing the three-quarter majority of states necessary to amend the Constitution. The 16th Amendment gave Congress the authority to enact an income tax. That same year, the first Form 1040 appeared after Congress levied a 1 percent tax on net personal incomes above $3,000 with a 6 percent surtax on incomes of more than $500,000.

"In 1918, during World War I, the top rate of the income tax rose to 77 percent to help finance the war effort. It dropped sharply in the post-war years, down to 24 percent in 1929, and rose again during the Depression. During World War II, Congress introduced payroll withholding and quarterly tax payments.

Partial solution to greedy politicians/lobbyists and other parasites is Keep America Strong while stopping the $$$$$$$$$$ from policing the world when it is not our problem. We The People must change the rules of our current Political Class who have become so strong and so corrupt as to wage war against a duly elected American President all but destroying our Constitution and those laws. Electing women who call the POTUS filthy names...this is the face of a Banana Republic.

That is truly not who we are.
