Subject: Tax Reform Comment: Under the present tax system (Federal, local, and State) the individual is little better that a serf living on a Lord's or Caliphe's land in the Middle Ages. If you don't pay your taxes, you private property may be seized and sold (there may be some legal limitations). This means that one does not truly own the property, you are just its overseer for a while. Federal income tax now is a significant burden to an individual. If they persist in the present system, they should bear the cost to the individual for his time spend preparing the tax. Income should not be taxed. The US got along for most of its history without an income tax and for many more years without mandatory deductions. |
