People pay income tax chiefly out of fear of losing their freedom and property, NOT because the law says they should. When challenged to show the law that authorizes the government to tax income, the IRS's reply is "no comment". They CANT! The federal government has simply side-stepped the U.S. Constitution and involved themselves with issues they have no business being involved in for the sole purpose of control.

I'm sick of the apathy. If we dont all stand together, we'll all fall together.
I get what you are saying, however I don't know enough about it to comment intelligently. (IANAL) I do feel that there ain't no way in hell the feds are going to give up trillions in income and downsize drastically so they can reduce or eliminate income tax. Historically speaking, about the only time I see a drastic reduction in the size of government is when it is defeated during a war or revolution. And in order to do that, you need the military on your side.

Even at the state level with budget excesses, Blanco will not give a tax break to businesses. Then she flies off to England to look for new business to come to our state. Go figure.....
