Definitely, taxes are an important issue, but I as a Libertarian, believe that I should be the one to decide how much of my money goes to the Government. This country survived for more than 100 years, without an income tax. The income tax was brought about to help pay for reconstruction after the Civil War.
Whose earning the money? I AM! So I should get to decide how much I wanna keep. If this were the case in reality, I would keep every DAMN sent! SCREW the GOVERNMENT!! The main reason our taxes are so high is because the Federal Gov't has become to powerful. If you read the constitution, the Fed. Gov't's is really restricted to take care of the following: Defense, The Printing of Currency, and To Make Sure One State Doesn't 'Step on the Toes' of Another State.
So as far as I'm concerned, get rid of the IRS, legalize drugs, get rid of the gun control laws, give me free medical care.
