I want income taxes eliminated.
Which is healthier for a country: Penalizing foreign product purchases or penalizing reportable income?

These globalist GOPe clowns cannot go away soon enough. They do far more to undermine conservatives than they do liberals.

That tears it; those two are enemies of the American people. Period. As if there were any doubt.

That's all I needed to know. F the Koch brothers. With a splintered broom stick.

>> carry out an agenda focused on free trade
The disingenuous “free trade” agenda.
How about “free trade” among states without sales tax?

They are all rich men trying to obtain power. What they label themselves does not matter.

Koch Brothers: We must be able to export jobs and American industry to China.

So, do they make money from China- or are they being blackmailed?
Someone should look into it.
China is big on getting ‘the goods’ on important people.
