It matters a lot if it is a flat income tax or a FairTax with repeal of the 16th, income tax amendment. With an income tax, you must report to the IRS all of your income. With a consumption tax, businesses, not individuals face the IRS. Let the debate begin!

The solution is simple. Repeal the 16th Amendment.

To truly end the war on drugs, you must also end prescriptive privileges for MDs, PAs, Dentists, veterinarians, nurse practitioners, etc.

The income tax is designed to impoverish the American people by discouraging savings and this makes them dependent upon the government.

A flat income tax requires every citizen to bare their financial soul by giving the sources of all their income. The IRS can still audit them. The answer is to repeal the 16th Amendment. Entitlements are an important but separate problems. Consider that without an income tax, workers can get all their pay and save tax free. Perhaps this would result in less need for entitlements.

The Supreme Court was wrong to incorporate the 4th Amendment of privacy against the states with Roe v. Wade. This and gun control should be a states rights issue, not a national issue.

An income tax is a direct tax on the American people that makes us bare our economic soul. A VAT tax does not do this but it still a bad tax. The flat consumption tax is the best of the worst.

California Democratic Governor Jerry Brown was recently ordered by the court to fix the overcrowded prison conditions. He refused saying they did not have the money to build new prisons and he was not going to free criminals. So far this has saved taxpayers money.

My advice to the school board is to ignore the complaint. After all, the argument of the Freedom From Religion Foundation is based on the the First Amendment that says, “ Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...” It does not say that a school board in Oklahoma cannot display the Ten Commandments in one of their schools and their is no federal law that says this. If the Freedom From Religion Foundation sues, then the school board should ask the state of Kentucky to be a party to the suit. If this happens, Article 3, Section 2, Clause 2: “In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction.” They could use this clause to ignore any rulings from the lower federal courts and insist on being heard only in The Supreme Court. If the Supreme Court takes on the case and rules that because of the First Amendment, they must take down the Ten Commandments then refuse to do so using the nullification argument. The Supremacy Clause says, “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof ... shall be the supreme Law of the Land.” If the school board and the state of Oklahoma find the law is not “pursuant to the Constitution” then it is null and void and not to be followed. If the school board and the state of Oklahoma do not follow the Supreme Court ruling then all the Supreme Court can do is to go to the executive branch of the federal government to enforce their ruling. If this happens it would make for interesting times.

MacDonald v. Chicago and Roe v. Wade were both mistakes by nationalizing very controversial issues. Our country was founded as a federation to control the factions. To quote Madison, "The influence of factious leaders may kindle a flame within their particular States, but will be unable to spread a general conflagration through the other States.”
