    Even if people aren't as greedy as I think they are and decided to donate the money that they saved by not being taxed as heavily, the majority of it would go to feeding the hungry and saving homeless kids.  That is not a bad thing, but Science would be way underfunded and we'd fall into an even greater recession once other countries realize nothing is going to be coming out of the U.S.
     
    Enough crying about taxes.  There are billions of people who would give their left arm to be making over $10,000 a year.

    So your better answer is to forcefully take peoples income to put into a system proven to be inefficient?  You're system is not working.  It's been shown time and time again to not work.  It's killing our economy, it's nothing but a tool to manipulate people and their behavior, it breeds corruption, it stifles peoples motivation through income redistribution, it most definitely makes people more greedy because their money is stolen from them up front, yet you think it's a better answer than voluntary donations and charitable contributions????????  How?

    Can you please point to a country with one of these libertarian governments which has transformed the place into paradise?

    So you want the government to cease to exist?  Are you proposing Anarchy?

    There was a federal government in this country before the income tax was forced upon us.

     

    Oh so it is only Income tax you want to get rid of.  I thought you meant all taxes period and let the government be a thing of the past(historical mistake).  

    If you are not being responded to directly, you are probably on my ignore list.

    Well, not just income tax...there are other taxes that I'm sure Gnome would feel are completely unjust and unconstitutional, and he would be right in feeling that way.

     

    The income tax was supposed to be temporary, but as Reagan said, Government will always find a need for the money that it gets.

     

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
