If you really take the article's undocumented and biased assertions seriously, then how do you account for this one statement?
"...income taxes would not exceed ten percent..."
Your protestations are laughable, and your allegations unsupported by this piece of Democrat dreck. About the only "political kingdom" one could build on 9% tax revenue is a Libertarian-styled one. How many jack-booted, stone-wielding, Reconstructionist thugs can they afford to put on every street corner (and thus on the government dole), if the taxation rate can't exceed 10%?
You're assuming they'd need to pay people to do this. You have a few people on this very thread who seem willing to volunteer.
