I remember what got me on the libertarian ban wagon. Abolish the income tax , IRS , and back good ole sales tax.
Hell yeah, that's what I'm talkin about. That way, if ya don't buy nothin, you don't got to pay the damn goverment nothin at all. That's freedom right there.
WE should migrate to a tax system that doesn't require the use of force by government to take what it wants.
@Bushshaker, transaction tax would be best. Any transfer of wealth from one person or group to another would be taxed at the same rate. No exceptions.
That's cool. I think eventual elimination of all taxes should be the goal since government can't do anything right and only causes more problems instead of solving anything, but I can respect at least recognizing how broken and counterproductive the "progressive" income tax is.
You jumped on a wagon with no wheels and no horses to pull it. Good luck with that.
@Bushshaker Where did I say our system is great? You should learn to read, then get back with me. I really hate stupid.
@Bushshaker A social/democracy, which is probably where we will end up someday anyway. We are kind of there now. We just haven't taken the plunge, but we probably will. The Millennials might be the ones that force the changes or make the changes. Big changes are always generational.
Posted by SpikeTalonI kneel before no one. No gods, no masters, no control freaks. Screw the tyrants from both political extremes, and their agendas.
Posted by SpikeTalonNeither one of the extremes, and yet the best of both worlds...
Posted by SpikeTalonSubstitute the word liberals for progressives, and that would describe me as well. As for the conservative part, the socially/theocratic (aka, bible thumpers, mostly) ones in particular.
Posted by SpikeTalonIndividuality is a dirty word to the authoritarians (both left and right) in the world.
