Let us have tax REFORM already. Get rid of the IRS and the income tax altogether.

Probably, we have to wait after 2004 election to get more conservatives in especially the senate.

Probably, we have to wait after 2004 election to get more conservatives in especially the senate.

The '04 election is likely the last, best chance at revolutionary changes to federal policies on taxes, social security, medicare/medicaid, and individual retirement issues. If the GOP makes gains in the Senate and stands pat in the House, we'll have all the ingredients for New Deal repeals. I salivate thinking about what Bush might do, not having to worry about reelection....

Sadly, it is almost certain that the Rats are going to pick up a Senate seat in Illinois in 2004 since Peter Fitzgerald has decided not to run again, and the Republican party in Illinois has been trashed by corrupt RINOs.

Bush's proposals are inching the system towards a consumption tax system. This is most clear when you look at already-implemented IRS regs regarding health plans and 'savings' legislation/regulations.

It's not quick, and it's quite subtle--but it's there.
