Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


Any person who tries to cheat the system would have to pay 10 times what he was supposed to pay. This would be an easy penalty to enforce, as well as an excellent deterrent, which would motivate all of us to do the right thing.

In fact, the new system would be so effective that during the 10-year-transition period, you could also reduce the size of the IRS by 10% each year. This would help you out a lot in reducing government spending. By the time the 10th year rolls around, you would have reduced the IRS down to 1/10th of its current size! What rational voter is not going to vote for that?

Again, as just a normal American guy, I hope you will consider simplifying our nation’s tax system so that other folks like me can understand it.

I just thought I’d throw this idea out there for you to consider because your opponent boasts of being a self made man, and he obviously worships his creator. Nevertheless, I guarantee that you, your campaign, and America would benefit from a real tax plan sent from Heaven.

Semper Fi,

Lee Culpepper

Common Sense is Used, Not Claimed
No 'Inside Wolverine,' people with common sense and/or educations simply check the math and question what they read. This is true on both sides of the aisle.

It would take 22 years to shrink the IRS to 10% of it's current size at 10% per year, not 10 years.


Income Tax is slavery
Income tax even if it is only 10% is still slavery. Income tax has corrupted our politicians and our taxpaying citizens.

What we really need is an opportunity tax.
