How is it that people who propose a mere 10% , non-progressive, tax are considered to be the right-wing capitalists. In the American Revolution, people dumped British tea into the harbor in outrage to a 2% tax. Our current Income tax system is not only disgusting, but unconstitutional. The Constitution protects our property rights, and last time I checked, my money is MY property.
If you look at the ten planks of the Communist Manifesto, you will see how the income tax fulfills two of them.
1. Abolition of private property - we have that
2. Progressive income tax - we have that
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance - we have that with taxes on inheritance
4. Confiscation of emigrant property - we have that
5. Central banks - we have that

All ten we have in America
Are you glad you live in a Communist country. Personally, I think we need to take back our country before we turn into Soviet Russia.
An unknown author describes the progress of democracies as:
"from bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from great courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependency; from dependency back to bondage."
We need to have another American Revolution. Our founding fathers gave us the tools by which to do it peacefully. Let's use them to vote the tyrants out of office before they take our ability to change things peacefully away. Then, the only option would be to refresh the tree of liberty with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
