Rummaging through the closets, we found this gem, from Alan Keyes in 2000. He explains that the concept of income tax is a slavery by degrees.
We included his presentation, in the 2000 presidential primary debate.

Why won't they let us go back to the Constitution our founders wrote, which had a tax system based on tariffs, duties and excise taxes, sales taxes, that puts the people themselves in charge of the incidence of taxation, so that you can decide that if you need a tax cut today, all you'll need to do is change your habits of consumption? You'll be back in control of your own destiny.
That is the tax approach that I recommend, radically different from what they're all talking about. They want to remain the gatekeepers of your money. I want to put you back in charge of that money. It's the only basis on which we can hope to regain that freedom that we're supposed to have as a people. Abolish the income tax. Return to the original Constitution of our country and put the people of this country back in control of their own destiny." - Alan Keyes |
