The Liberty Lamp: Libertarian News & Editorials

My friends, Bush has delcared this day, April 15, 2005, as National Theft Day. How did he do this you ask? He kept income taxes. He gave unbalanced tax cuts. He had intercourse with the IRS.

As it was pointed out to me, The IRS. TheIRS. Theirs. Our income is being taxed. This is to the equivalence of a life tax as they had in the Bible. None of us can live without income, to the exception of the willing homeless and those that live off of the land. We should be able to enjoy what we make.

People disagree with this point of view often. They state that instead we would just have heavy sales taxes. I disagree though, if you still want your socialist government then sure, but if we made it unconstitutional to tax income (as it was before the 16th amendment), the government could either choose to tax us in other places, or they could simply cut back. But no, that would hurt too much for the government to go on a diet...let's tax the workers instead.

And would it be that bad if we had increased sales taxes? We may only have to just have a luxury tax on items such as cars that are over $50,000 or real estate purchases over $500,000...or even television purchases over $5,000.

But no...let's have the rich class live in their multimillion dollar homes, drive their million dollar cars, and watch their wide screen televisions, and not be affected by any taxes by investing in municipal bonds. After all, we're doing the work, why not fund the government too?
