“Besides, to lay and collect internal taxes in this extensive country must require a great number of congressional ordinances, immediately operation upon the body of the people; these must continually interfere with the state laws and thereby produce disorder and general dissatisfaction till the one system of laws or the other, operating upon the same subjects, shall be abolished.”

–Federal Farmer, Antifederalist Letter, 1787

I have an idea – institute the Fair Tax and watch revenue climb – once capitalism isn’t fettered, it runs really well …

I am too much of a realist to think that this country could run on donations made out of the goodness of the citizen’s hearts, so tax is a necessary evil. Income tax slams those who can afford it the least, while those who CAN afford to pay the taxes can also afford to have lots of neat little deductions.

Chat ya later…
