Perhaps I should have also said I disagreed with the statement of absolutely “no taxes” as well. However, since we just went through a HUGE debate on that one, I didn’t want to open the door again. Suffice it to say that I think there is both constitutional and practical as well as moral justification for minute amounts of taxation. It should be administered through direct taxation, in conjunction with a census, and then gathered by the states, which then gives the appropriate amount to the fed gov’t. While implementing this system would create some massive economic tremors in the short run, the long run affects of this would greatly strengthen our entire economy.
