"To those who think we can have a flat tax on incomes, I say we did that once, 1913, and look what we have got."

Look what we've got?
A progressive tax that punishes the achievers...
A tool for social stricture in the hands of congress-critters.

No tax at all means we need to look again at tariffs to fund the government.
And in an era of reliance on world trade partners, tariffs are a dangerous thing.

No, we need some form of taxation, sales or flat...
But we need fair taxation!

No argument here. Once the Constitution was breached with respect to the inviolable property rights of citizens, Pandora's box was opened. The rest is history. We're a great nation of great people. How'd we let this happen?
