The real evil of the income tax system is the power that its implimentation gives the government over the people. In order to have an income tax, the government must have access to all of your personal income information. Furthermore, the tax creates a multitude of opportunities for corrupt politicians to get contributions from various special interest groups in return for inserting goodies into the Byzantine tax code.

I hate to be cynical, but the govt will NEVER give up the social control that the income tax gives them over the people. Without the income tax, the government would have no idea how much you are making or where it is coming from. Something as important as your income would essentially be outside the reach of the prying eyes of big brother.

Does that mean that you are not willing to get into the fray and help us replace the income tax with a National Retail Sales Tax and abolish the IRS?
