In 1994, for instance, Americans elected Republicans to both houses of Congress for the first time in decades because they promised, among other things, to scrap the tax code. They lied. Let's not mince words. They failed to live up to their "Contract With America," and Americans have not had an opportunity to express their rage against the unconstitutional income tax since.

I agree with Farah that the tax code is an abomination and should be scrapped but he commits a factual error with regard to the Contract With America. The Republicans of the 104th Congress did exactly what they promised to do with regard to the Contract. It was one of our country's finest hours.

The real problem is the level of spending. There are more efficient ways to collect taxes, but the overall level is way too high for my taste, and probably yours. Unless the ideas of self-sufficiency, responsibility, and charity rise again, there will be no consenus to deal with the underlying problem. The government must collect funds if it is to disburse them. Unfortunately, the consensus is for more shifting of responsibility away from the individual by more government.

Farah is also dreaming if he thinks that staying away from the polls when the choices are bad and awful will improve things.

The 104th Congress did perform according to the Contract with America. It was one of the countries finest times. Then, the Clinton propaganda machine began to demonize Congress. Many sheeple in the electorate began to believe the propaganda. At that point, certain R's in swing districts began to fold. A reasonable question might be asked, why should these swing R's give a rat's *ss about reducing big government, if the majority of their consituents don't care?

One of the first casualties of freedom is the truth. Farah can not restore freedom without telling it.
