I think the Federal government should be rolled back, shut down, and reduced to small departments for treaty making and some truly limited federdal duties. Each state should maintain its own militia for protection of an invading army, and all other parts of the government privatize such as the post office, education, health, etc, etc, etc, We would need very little taxes if government officials served from the heart, from loyalty to the American people and from love rather than for power,money, prestige, and good ole boy deals in the smoke filled back room.<br /><br />The government is broke and can't be fixed. We are to pray for it and not resist it, but I am afraid only the King of Kings and Lord of Lords can get us out of this "fine mess we gotten ourselves into."Gregg Metcalfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16413691313803396844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-78605122946092648512011-04-18T11:15:05.607-05:002011-04-18T11:15:05.607-05:00It is no mistake that the increase in the power to...It is no mistake that the increase in the power to tax has resulted in an increase in the power of government. The more money they bring in, the more power they have. The power money they bring in, the fewer liberties we have. What drove us to become the greatest nation in the world was stifled with this tax and the politics of tax, through deductions and rates. Income tax is a source of manipulation. If the federal gov must have revenue from taxes, let it be from sales tax, with no loopholes. I would say a new amendment would be to repeal the 16th amendment and replace it with a sales tax amendment.jrchaardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13858326373606903797noreply@blogger.com
