APRIL TERROR

As the deadline for filing tax returns draws near, I have been thinking about just how un-American our present tax system is. Countless millions of man hours and countless billions of dollars are wasted by Americans every year, complying with it, and having our society and economy manipulated by it, and every year we, the American people, take it, and act like there's nothing we can do about it. Bullshit!, I say. Why should some a-hole bureaucrat have access to your private affairs and/or personal information, and why should some politician of even lower character be allowed to try and engineer society according to his personal beliefs? Why should one American be forced to give-over a greater percentage of their day's labor, or reward on their risk, than another? Equally, why should one class of people, rich or poor, be given loopholes or exemptions that allow them to escape paying the same rate as others, simply because they are a favored class? If my enterprise isn't on the pet list of some politico, it is OK for it to fail, but if I can afford to slip money into their campaign, it's "in the national interest" for tax dollars to bail me out? The American people have suffered long and greatly at the hands of Washington DC and the corrupt and incompetent men and women who dwell there, and it's high time we started putting things right. One way to win back our freedom would be to end the income tax, and replace it with a national sales tax that is fixed, requiring a vote by the PEOPLE if the rate is to be raised. Relying on the goodness of elected officials has proven a disaster, and the American people need remove the temptation to injure us for their own gains.
