Carvile is preparing to call it a scheme to enrich the rich and further enslave the poor.
Alan Keyes' calls the income tax, "The Slave Tax" which should be abolished as a moral imperative, and replaced with a National Retail Sales Tax:
I would personally prefer the NRST H.R.2525 Family Consumption Allowence, proposed to be received by all households, be separated into its own Subtitle under the NRST legislation as it is actually an independant payment of the NRSTl. Actually the title should be something appropriate in recognition of the repeal of the Income Tax (aka Alan's "Slave Tax"). And the allowence renamed accordingly.
My suggestion would be:
"TAX SLAVE REPARATIONS ACT".
Whereas every legal resident has been held in the bondage and perpetual legal jeopardy of the Income/Payroll VAT the NRST proposes to replace and abolish.
Whereas we have all been held captive by an oppressive overlord IRS for many generations now, I believe we are all due reparations for the considerable damage the income tax has done to each of us personally and to this Republic as a whole. If for no other reason, the FCA is thus justified.
Whereas the Declaration of Independence expresses the inalianable right to Life to be protected as a fundamental duty of government, the most basic level that sustains life and the capacity to participate in the nation's economic life (povertylevel), should be compensated for any taxation that would be imposed by the structure of the tax mechanism at that basic level of sustaining LIFE.
I see no justification for not providing, in fact I see a duty to provide, that FCA allowance in compensation for past and future impositions on our basic freedoms any system of tax must inherently exhibit.
Keyes on Taxes & Government Spending:
- "The income tax in effect makes us vassals to the government – the politicians decide how much income we can keep. No mere “reform” of this slave tax, such as flattening the rate, can correct its fundamental denial of control over our own money. Only the abolition of the income tax itself will restore the basic American principle that our income is both our own money and our own private business - not the government's."
- "Replacing the income tax with a national sales tax would rejuvenate independence and responsibility in our citizens. True economic liberty and moral revival go hand in hand."
- "A national sales tax would also put the American citizen back in control of national fiscal policy. The best way to curtail government spending is to cut taxes, because they can’t spend what they don’t get. But with a sales tax, we could deny funds to a spendthrift government – and give ourselves a tax cut – whenever we make the private choice to alter our spending and saving habits."
Alan Keyes Interview with Des Moines Register:
- Conservative commentator Alan Keyes said Thursday one of the first things he would do as president would be to replace the federal income tax with a national sales tax.
- The Republican presidential candidate said he favors a national sales tax of about 23 percent that would also replace the payroll tax that pays for Social Security.
