You have so far come out against both property taxes and income taxes. I asked you what taxes you preferred; you didn't answer.

Am I correct in assuming you want none? Or not? Or just none that you yourself pay (which actually was largely the situation with respect to the federal gov't until income tax.)

I also did not indicate that I favored income tax. You stated it was illegal; I asked for proof. One of the articles you posted appears interesting, but I need to study it a bit.

Another evil taxation of earned income created was that it encouraged the federal government to start spending all its ill-gotten gains on redistribution of wealth schemes, social engineering projects, "safety net" programs and legislation designed to inhibit freedoms and restrict liberties. All actions well outside of the purview of its authority and intended structure. The original vision was the centralized part of the government would be small and pretty much subordinated to States' Rights, and the States' Rights would be subordinate to the individual's rights.
And I agree completely with that and consider it good reason to keep federal gov't income low.

Your "arguments" are beginning to sound like Flappy's.
Them's fightin' words.
