Kill the Income Tax
Although I make a very good living helping people cope with this country’s various tax laws, I have never been shy about voicing my opinions about the tax system. It is immoral, corrupt, unethical, and completely contrary to the goals of our founding fathers. It is such a shambles that reform is not possible. Anyone who claims otherwise is blowing smoke up your rear. Congress loves to pretend to care about the problems and “rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic” by making superficial changes; but the proper approach is to “end it, not mend it.”

As I have said on several occasions, the much ballyhooed flat tax, as proposed by Steve Forbes, would not come anywhere close to achieving its stated goal of eliminating the dreaded IRS. The only way to do that would be to repeal the 16th Amendment and replace the revenue through a national sales tax.

One of the courageous leaders in this patriotic campaign is another freedom loving speaker, Fred Holden, of Colorado. He has an excellent new website with details of how we can all work towards this goal at www.SuperCitizen.com . Check it out.
