[an amused spectator]

Allow me to correct a misconception you seem to have about one of my posts:

Despite all your straw "reasons", if judges ruled against the income tax, government funding would go away.

should read:

Despite all your straw "reasons", if judges ruled against the income tax, government funding from the income tax would go away.

I guess I thought that such an outcome was a foregone conclusion, but you seem to need it spelled out...

And government funding would be replaced by another tax paying the judges in any case. Hence your entire diatribe about judges conflict of intrest goes down the drain.
