One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?'' -George Orwell, 1984, the words of Winston Smith's torturer, Inner Party man O'Brien The Architecture of Modern Political Power http://www.mega.nu:8080/conspiracy.html "The combination is here to stay. Individualism has gone, never to return." John Davison Rockefeller I, born 1839-July-18, died 1937-May-23 Brothers and Sisters, Get educated! Bard The Libertarian Party Ending the Income Tax What would it mean for your family if you never had to pay income tax again? You would have thousands of dollars more each year to spend as you choose -- to improve your quality of life, to give your children a better education, to help your church or favorite charity, or to save for your retirement. And it's the income tax that gives the federal government so much power to control your life -- to hire armies of bureaucrats to write endless volumes of regulations, and to bribe state and local governments to go along with their schemes. Could America survive without an income tax? Certainly. There are hundreds of departments, agencies, and programs that are not even provided for in the Constitution, but now make up the majority of the federal budget. Without them there would be no need for the income tax. What would happen to your favorite government program? Most government programs duplicate functions that would be better done by private business or could be more effectively provided through private charity. Without an income tax, you would have the money to pay for these services or support these causes yourself, without wasting your money on government bureaucracy. Should we replace the current income tax with a new kind of tax? A "flat tax" or national sales tax? No. The Libertarian Party is opposed to any new taxes. http://www.lp.org/ The Constitution Party A Flat Sales Tax would be much fairer to everyone and eliminate the need for the IRS as it is. It could be scaled down to a much smaller agency to collect the sales tax. http://www.constitution.net/ The Reform Party 1.We shall create a new tax system. 2.The new system shall be fair and simple. 3.The new system shall raise the money needed to pay the nation's constitutionally legitimate bills. http://www.reformparty.org/ <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
