The progressive income tax is inherently Tyrannical. Most Freepers are well aware of the various characteristics which serve to effectively enslave the American middle class.
I support consumption based taxes rather than income-based ones. They are intrinsically more fair, because those who consume the most end up paying the most tax. Consumption taxes are also much easier to administer, and are not so blatantly invasive of Fourth Amendment rights, unlike the income tax.
For these reasons, I don't like the flat tax because it is still an income tax.
The Democrats can be effectively portrayed as the party that wants to maintain the status quo with regard to government revenue generation, and also the party that wants to keep on with the endless, runaway federal spending.
With a good, small government candidate that will back up his/her bold words with equally bold action, the Democratic party could be electorally annihilated next year. Vigorous tax reform; spending cuts which can help put an end to crony capitalism; putting an end to socialized medicine; these are the things which can help conservatives build a more perfect Union and win across the board in 2012.
Then, We The People can finish cleaning up the corrupt Republican Party as well. First things first, though...
Man alive, from your lips to God’s ears!!
Without the 16th, the rat party will fold, for it cannot exist without class enemies which they create through the tax code. Ridding our nation of the income tax would be a twofer, a possible restoration of liberty and a stake through the heart of the evil political party that seeks to enslave us.
“This is how the TEA party and the GOP can engineer a huge landslide come next November: by making the bold proposals necessary to completely eliminate the current system of income taxation.

Our founders gave us liberty, the politicians stole it with the 16th amendment.
Won’t it be wonderful to see it repealed in our lifetimes?
I am completely confident that Herman Cain will be able to get it done.
