United States government imposed its first personal income tax, on August 5, 1861, as part of the Revenue Act of 1861 3% of all incomes over US $800...flat tax...that lasted a long time. Don't give the Gubment anymore power! For any reason...period. IMHO

Do you have a suggestion for the terrorist problem? Produce is a pretty sizable percentage of GDP. Even a libertarian thinks it is the government's job to protect us from foreign attacks. The cost of doing this is about 1% of the damage that an attack would cause.

Do you have a suggestion for the terrorist problem?

Absolutely. I highly recommend killing all of them before they commit their heinous act! Look. This is what all Americans must come to grips with...terrorism is unstoppable and no amount of trading freedom for security will bring safety from terrorism. When Stalin took the people's freedom in the Soviet Union, were the Ukrainians free from terror? Hardly. But I digress. Here's a quote I often use to sum up my thoughts on preventing terrorism (you can add it to the other two for a nice trifecta) "I am willing to trade my life for his. I am smart, and I am willing, and that is all it takes."-John Malkovich, In the Line of Fire. This is what people who value life can't wrap the heads around. As for specifics on your scenario, they are almost limitless, maybe we can discuss it over a beer at the CPAC. I wouldn’t want to give any idiots nefarious ideas. Here's an idea for stopping terrorism that may work as well as any other...Continuously broadcast Bay Watch re-runs throughout the middle east ;o)
