The only fair tax….is to have a national sales tax.

I think it is immoral to make every retailer in the country a tax collector.

The idea is this: after sending in your 2001 tax return to the IRS, take your 2001 tax booklet and write "I want a 10% flat tax implemented by 2004,"

I don’t believe sending the tax booklet to the IRS is going to get us much. However if a Senator was to get a few hundred tax booklets it might draw some attention.

Now if we could all agree on which Senator to send them to.

The original suggestion was: "...mail it to one of your federal representatives," just as you suggest. Sending it to the IRS will not do any good. We each have two Senators and a Representative, so if it comes down to choosing one of these three, it should probably be the senior Senator. The news would obviously get to the other two in short order. Based on this, I will send mine to that illustrious senior Senator from the State of Washington, Ms. Patty Murray.

It's immoral to put every individual in the country under legal jeopardy and coercion of the income tax.

Taxation is going to occur and in fully under the Constitutional authority to levy and collect such taxes. It is up to us to assure that a proper mode is selected:

Thomas Hobbes from Leviathan

[Montesquieu wrote in Spirit of the Laws, XIII,c.14:]

Patrick Henry, Virginia Ratifying Convention June 12, 1788:

Alan Keyes lays out a solid moral case for a retail sales tax replacing the current system:

Alan Keyes refers to the income tax as the slave tax that should be abolished as a moral imperative, and replaced with a National Sales Tax:

Keyes on Taxes & Government Spending:

Alan Keyes Interview with Des Moines Register:

The intent of the structure of the individual income tax is for political and social control not revenue collection. The Individual Income tax is maintained to establish and hold every person in the country perpetual legal jeopardy. A properly designed NRST removes that jeopardy and provides increase liberty & financial privacy for all individuals.
