Hey tiredtazpayer:
Don’t you mean that socialist not so fair tax idea which puts every American family on the public dole by its family consumption allowance?
Did it ever dawn upon Neal that the carrot of abolishing the IRS may be intentionally designed by folks in government to lure the people into a new and perhaps even more oppressive system?
Do you really think folks in government would willingly relinquish a mighty power they now exercise over the People via the income tax which makes the people their servant? The old saying goes: if it’s sounds too good to be true it probably is!
I have asked a rhetorical question in a number of forums repeatedly, and sincerely thought a thinking person would have answered it by now with some deep and penetrating insight. The question being: why not simply exempt the necessities of life from taxation, instead of creating a family consumption allowance which puts every American Family on the public dole?
You see, my rhetorical question was meant to point out that whenever folks in government make people dependant upon a periodically issued government check, eventually the issuing of that money is used to control and regulate their activities. So, if the family consumption allowance is intended to pay the tax on the basic necessities of life, is it not necessary and proper for Congress to require those who receive a family consumption allowance to prove that allowance was spent on basic necessities and nothing more?
And, who is to say what is considered a basic necessity and what isn’t? Surely, this is within Congress’ powers as Congress is providing the check. And how may Congress ensure that each family spends its family consumption allowance as Congress’ has legislated? We wouldn’t want, for example, pregnant mothers to use a government issued allowance to purchase wine, whiskey, tobacco, or foods which may be unhealthy to the unborn. And so, Congress solves the problem of keeping an eye upon the spending of the family consumption allowance by more regulations, just as the IRS now enforces and checks up on the people through mandatory record keeping, audits, and so forth.
Oh, but I thought Neal told us the IRS was to be abolished!
That is true my child, and in its place we have established a kinder gentler service, but its rules must also be followed, just as those of the former IRS.
Sincerely,
JWK
