My basic point about this post is that we don’t need a “liberty amendment” that makes the IRS more palatable. Repeal the 16th amendment, eliminate corporate taxes, raise tariffs, add a national sales tax, slash the size of government, and watch the economy explode.
I would prefer a national sales tax at the point of sale 1000 times over the income tax. It would be anonymous, less intrusive, no paper work, no record keeping, no self incrimination, keeps our privacy and prevents the government from treating us like puppets with special deductions to reward a particular behavior or onerous taxes to punish other behaviors. Additionally everyone would pay into the system, including criminals. And eliminating the IRS would rid us of an agency used to destroy political adversaries.
I would strictly limit tariffs, since I believe they are counterproductive. I would only use them if another country imposes them on us first.
There needs to be an uprising against income taxes if we want to be free.
