1. when the income tax was implemented (required a constitutional amendment, at least back then if they wanted to do something in violation of the constitution they amended same... they didn’t just inaguarate an enemy alien agent into the White House, for example)
anyway, sorry I got diverted... but when the income tax was started, the politicians promised the American people that “the American working man will never have to pay a dime in income tax!” (it was pushed through as a leftist “progressive” measure to attack the handful of “fat cats” in the steel and railroad industries)
2. the tax form really did fit on the back of a post card
3. the govt did not confiscate your wages before your taxes were even due (no withholding until during WW2 as a wartime only emergency measure, supposedly)
4. imho, what we need is to eliminate the income tax entirely (it is inherently a major depressant on the economy and jobs, plus any economist can tell you that levying taxes on productivity only stifles, reduces, impedes, discourages productive enterprise and creativity, etc).. as taxes go, an income tax Economically Sucks
more than most
5. and then let the 2 or 3 million people who make their livings doing or processing income taxes... help them find other... PRODUCTIVE stimulating chalenging and well-paid jobs in the Real economy
imho.
finally,
6. we have learned just how a dictatorally-minded President can mis-use the IRS to suppress political discourse and attack political opponents... its been turned into a tool of oppression ... very, very Anti-American
Thats the one I use already.....
You forgot line 3:
3. Balance due
CA....
