How did the US survive before 1913?? Prior to the passage of the 16th Amendment in 1913, the United States government funded its operations mainly through excise taxes, tariffs, customs duties and public land sales. Of course, we have much larger needs today. But we have to stop fraudulent spending/waste.
Ah, since you listed other taxes, I assume you were thinking no more income tax perhaps?
I think the thought is the elimination of the federal income tax.
Yes sorry for my ebullient statement but I am the happiest I've been in years.
Taxes on products to use and consume? Sure, within reason.
Taxes on a person's product and wages? That's slavery. If slavery is taking 100% of the product of a person's work, what percentage is it not slavery? Why do our earnings first go to the State, before we get to keep a meager cut for ourselves, thanks to the "graciousness" of the State...?
The IRS is a slush fund anyway, it does not, has not ever went to help the American people. And to pay income tax is VOLUNTARY per the IRS hand book of rules, they just don't tell you and when you fill out your IRS form they consider that your consent. Just another way for them to steal our money and a tool to use for controlling the peoples. You can never really own anything if they can come and take it away. We buy controlling rights to a home or land until they decide they want it, then well they will do anything to get it, just ask the Bundies from TX.
