The original constitution had no income tax. The federal government ran off excise taxes. FDR was a crook who wanted only to rule forever only he died first. Is Obama any better? We’ll see.

Cafeteria government. “I’ll take some immigration control, treaty enforcement, and a double helping of national defense. NPR and National Endowment for the Arts? No thanks, that stuff gives me gas!”

Ok, I take it back, Frank: this form of government has never been tried before.

hwuu raises a good point. Does “No taxes” also mean no taxes on imports, Frank? And no sales tax?

It is doable. If we run a small enough government it should be able to manage off of import duties. no personal or corporate taxes at all.

The Founding Fathers thought taxes were cool because the Founders only allowed stakeholders to vote. Somewhere along the way, that all changed. Now people who don’t pay a nickel in taxes can vote. Better yet, we now give people other taxpayers’ money. Best of all, people can receive tax money, pay none AND can vote themselves more. Brilliant!

And these Founders were supposedly so smart. Ha. Why didn’t those powdered wig dudes think of our current, awesome solution?

I would vote for you in a heartbeat! I do think a (slightly) more attainable tax policy would be to eliminate withholding. Taxes should be due the day before election day! But we have to do it quick before too few are paying taxes. I don’t think we can wait until you are elected president in 2016. Maybe Obama will be impeached, you can be chosen as Biden’s vice president, and succeed to the presidency when his head explodes!
