“We the people must Abolish the IRS and Personal Income Tax Taxes on imports, Washington, Hamilton, and Madison agreed were the way to finance government. Taxes on incomes and exports were prohibited by the Constitution. Our Founding Fathers wanted foreigners to carry as much of our tax load as possible. Is this discrimination? Of course. But the first bill out of Congress was the Tarriff Act of 1789.” – Patrick J. Buchanan, Day of Reckoning p.202It was the progressive movement that brought us the Personal Income Tax. Thus began the decline of America’s competitiveness.
If We the People were to abolish the IRS and the Personal Income tax, how would We the People fund the necessary functions of the government We created and We gave authority to?
1. We would seek out and eliminate highly inefficient government programs;
2. We would begin to phase out government programs that are duplicated at the state level and/or not allowed under the US Constitution; and,
3. We would reduce the budget back to 1990 levels of spending;
4. The government (Federal, State and Local) would still collect the following taxes and fees:
Accounts Receivable Tax
Automobile Registration Tax
Building Permit Tax
Capital Gains Tax
CDD/CID Tax
CDL License Tax
Cigarette Tax
Corporate Income Tax – (Nearly Equal to the US Department of Defense Budget pre 9/11)
Court Fines (Indirect Taxes)
Dog License Tax
Death Tax
EPA Fines
Estate Tax
FCC Fines
Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA)
Fishing License Tax
Food License Tax
Fuel Permit Tax
FTA Fines
Gasoline Tax (42 Cents Per Gallon) – (Nearly Equal to the US Department of transportation budget)
Hunting License Tax
Inventory Tax
Liquor Tax
Local Income Tax
Luxury Taxes
Marriage License Tax
Medicare Tax
OSHA Fines
Parking Meters
Property Tax – (Used to pay for local schools and other local usage)
Real Estate Tax
Septic Permit Tax
Service Charge Taxes
Social Security Tax
Road Usage Taxes (Truckers)
Sales Taxes
Recreational Vehicle Tax
Road Toll Booth Taxes
School Tax
State Income Tax
State Unemployment Tax (SUTA)
Tangible Property Tax
Tariffs (Import taxes)
Telephone Federal Excise Tax
Telephone Federal, State and Local Surcharge Taxes
Telephone Minimum Usage Surcharge Tax
Telephone Recurring and Non-Recurring Charges Tax
Telephone Usage Charge Tax
Toll Bridge Taxes
Toll Tunnel Taxes
Traffic Fines
Trailer Registration Tax
Utility Taxes
Vehicle License Registration Tax
Vehicle Sales Tax
Watercraft Registration Tax
Well Permit Tax
Workers Compensation Tax
etc.,etc.,etc…..
So, there would be plenty of revenue to operate the government without the personal income tax. In fact, after the IRS collects the personal income tax and pays for operating itself and pays interest on borrowed money there is nothing left. The IRS does not contribute to operating other Federal Government departments. So, the real question is, “what will you do with all of that extra money you get to keep?”
Watch this exposé on the personal income tax…

Is that a political party? If so, is it a right wing minor party, or what?
If not, what is the alt party connection?
I can think of some, btw, but they should be made explicit.
Also, headline seems editorial without the author’s name – although I don’t know that Pitts is the author, I seem to remember seeing this passed around as a forward on email years ago.
Pat Buchanan and Aaron Russo both had third party runs for office.
Paulie–title is editorial and I don’t see an alt party connection. It needs to be made more explicit. I can’t pull this down now (on a mobile phone).
I put it on private so Jill gets a chance to fix it up if she wants to.
It’s a real shame Aaron Russo is no longer with us.
I have listen to Will Pitts when he calls into radio shows here in FL. This guy is a kook+! I agree with him on this issue, but this guy isn’t smart enough to write this. It’s someone else’s writing.
I seem to recall this being passed around on email years ago.
Drew,
I heard him speak up in Jacksonville. It was a real turning point for me. Here is the speech.

As if those taxes weren’t bad enough.. now there’s a new “email chain forwarding tax”! It’s true.
