(2) Libertarians are not against all taxes, but rather are against taxes based on income. Can I have 5% of your next pay check? Why not? Because I'm not entitled to it. That money is yours and earned by your blood, sweat, and tears. Why should the government get any? Tax goods and services, then if I want a good or service I can decide to pay the tax when I use these goods or services.

So you would favor a sales tax in place of an income tax? I think that would be the best system.

A national sales tax is the way I would do it. Probably wouldn't tax things like food at the grocery store, but food at restaraunt is fair game. Also, I'd probably have an ascending structure, for instance you'd pay more fed sales tax on a Lexus, than you would on a Kia because they cost more. Rich still get taxed more, but at least they get to decide when they get taxed. What do you think?

One of the biggest objections I have to the income tax is that it allows the Gov't to keep records of things (like how much I make) that are not its concern. IMHO the Feds should simply assess dues on the states, based on their population, and let the states raise the $$.
