I've agreed with Alan Keyes for a number of years on the need to get rid of the income tax. Its easier said than done however, because there are powerful vested interests that defend the income tax and the danger to liberty that it represents. They constitute the political class, the tax bureaucrats, the accountants, and whoever benefits from whatever handouts and exemptions they get from Washington. While it would be wonderful if the income tax were gone, the truth is it won't happen since it would be asking the current beneficiaries to commit political suicide. And what good liberal wants to get rid of the weapon known as class warfare? Still we can dream of a world without it. :)

Did you vote for Keyes in the primaries when it would have meant something?
