Should we abolish income Tax? Massachusetts residents are set to vote on Tuesday a proposal to abolish the state income tax.
A disturbing trend has taken place in American politics. Apparently, the truth has taken a backseat to perception. It would seem that some Americans feel that pointing out obvious and troubling revelations about a presidential candidate is simply a buzz kill. Or worse, racism.
Some Americans have joined Hollywood and the media elite in their desire to elect a black president. Nevermind those shocking alliances and friendships with known America haters, socialists, terrorists and anti-Semites. No, the feel good story must continue. No matter what.
Barack Obama subscribes to a global view and like most globalists, this involves the dismantling of the American way of life. Don't believe me? Why else would Obama tell everyone to "take the day off" and vote? That irresponsible slows the economy down further at a time we need to strengthen it. And who the hell is he anyway to suggest such a thing?

Massachusetts residents are set to vote on Tuesday a proposal to abolish the state income tax.
Can you imagine if that passed? Boston Tea party all over again!
War is Peace
Ignorance is strength
Freedom is Slavery!
Wonder if that proposal includes some of the Fair Tax concepts developed by the “Talkmaster” (a/k/a Neal Boortz)and Rep. John Linder?
Not only yes but HELL YES!!!
We’re at the point now where there’s so much obfuscation between a tax cut and tax rebate checks, that the issue is a fading one.
It’s time to reform the system, but with this current congress, I don’t know how it could be done.
I have argued many times over the years that the ruination of this country can be found in the 16th Amendment, establishing a federal income tax. After the war, when the funds were no longer needed, the influx of cash into the federal coffers was more than what was needed.
Congress critters began to work to redirect some of that excess cash back to their states and thus began the corrupt system we see in DC today. Money that rightfully belongs to the people in the states from which it was confiscated, must agree to fund projects in other states in the hopes of getting back money that should have never left their state.
The founding fathers never wanted this centralized government. They wanted each state to determine its own policies. Therefore, if New York or Vermont or California want a welfare state with free health care, they could have one, but it would require that they fund it themselves.
The problem is, instead of being accountable to the people who elect them, the Congress critters can boast about the amount of money they got for their state. How else does one think the likes of Murtha, Byrd, Kennedy and others get reelected over and over?
The founding fathers intended that the national Congress would be a place where regular citizens of each state would come to represent their state regarding national issues. They would have been appalled at the career politicians, Republican and Democrat that serve now, not to mention the intrusive and corrosive nature of the federal government.
