Who do you trust to fix TAXES in the U.S. and Stimulate the Economy?

1. Me.

   Repeal the 16th Amendment, make income and profit UNTAXABLE in perpetuity, and pass the FairTax.

2. Boom.

3. We also have to turn around this mindset that has the cart before the horse. The government needs to align itself with the LIMITED tax revenue that happens to be stolen from taxpayers – NOT force taxpayers to keep increasing the amount stolen from them to fund bigger and bigger government.

   Nixon’s first fiscal year in office (1971) was the first time that the annual federal expenditures topped $200 billion.

   It was 1987 before the federal outlays topped $1 trillion.

   2002 when George W. Bush took office was the first year the annual expenditures topped $2 trillion.

   For 2015 the expenditures will top $4 trillion.

   It only took 45 years for the federal budget to grow by a factor of 20 – wages have probably increased by a factor of 3 or 4 at most overall during the same time period. The size and scope of the federal government could be cut in half (at minimum) and the only people negatively impacted would be those that are leaching off the taxpayer already, either as useless federal employees or recipients of government “benefits” (a group that I can’t force myself to have much sympathy for in general).

4. I sure as hell don’t trust a bunch of politicians.

5. Off topic, but every time the news is on, Harry Reid is talking about something. I thought we voted to shut him and Pelosi up. What gives?

6. Apportionment is the only fair tax.
   Each Congressional District pays the exact same amount.
   It would end Gerrymandering AND put the budget under control.

   Simple solutions for simple problems.

7. What gives? Haven’t you noticed, they still control congress.
