[ the People and the States did not originally create a central government to be Feared. ] In my opinion this Plank should include repeal of the Income Tax. Its current Form: "Amended We shall create a new tax system. The new system shall be fair and simple. The new system shall raise the money needed to pay the nation's constitutionally legitimate bills. Analyze, model, and publicly debate the best options. All options should be considered, including tariffs, value-added taxes, and taxes on income, sales, assets, gasoline, and financial transactions. Allow voters to provide input on the new system. Any future tax increases under the new system must be approved by the people in the next federal election, in order to impose discipline on spending Any tax law that benefits a discrete minority shall be subject to strict scrutiny and shall become law only if a compelling interest can be demonstrated." -------------------------- Mr. Buchanan, The above Amended plank should, and must, include complete elimination of the IRS. Original Constitutional provisions for the collection of revenue to pay for a limited government is more than adequate to do the job. Adoption by the Reform Party to Repeal the Income Tax would greatly enhance its ability to increase substantiality the Poll numbers to enable participation in the Duopoly controlled Presidential Debates, then move on to Victory in November. The IRS is beyond reform; like a Snake squeezing your body to a slow death, its Head must be severed by one fatal blow. Any and all remnants of its existence must be buried along with all the other insidious programs of the Socialist Agenda which has so devastated the ethical and moral fiber of our Nation. I love my Country so much, but is current corrupt Duopoly has smothered the Liberty granted to me by the Constitution. The only way The Reform Party can appeal to the Voters to make us truly Free again is to repeal Amendment XVI to The Constitution of the United States of America; there is no alternative. (this Amendment, as you well know, was orchestrated by the international bankster cartel, and indeed its legality is in question even to this day.) In my view, such an amendment to your Plank would have major positive impact on the supporters of The Libertarian Party, The Constitution Party, and other Party's which appeal to the young, and greatly contribute to the success of The Reform Party in November. Liberty is Personal Responsibility! Personal Responsibility is Freedom! Our Nation's Soul must be cleansed of the stench of our Society which has displaced its natural innocence.
