The Moral Basis for a National Transaction Tax

Obama has a moral basis for taking as much of our money as he can get away with and giving it to his laziest but most loyal supporters: “When you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everyone.” What more does a thug with power need to justify taking from those who produce and giving to society’s parasites?

Me, too. But I want a CONSERVATIVE to determine a fair amount.

That’s why taxes shouldn’t be “with-held” but to-be-paid-in-full on tax-day. Then voters would be MUCH more sensitive to what the taxes were being used for.

Also, to prevent the money-crisis we have coming up, there should be a actual linkage to precious-metals by out money... that is, our coinage should be gold or silver as dictated by the Constitution.
