The income tax is a twentieth-century socialist experiment that has failed. Before the income tax was imposed on us just 80 years ago government had no claim to our income. Only sales excise and tariff taxes were allowed.

The worst government is often the most moral. One composed of cynics is often very tolerant and humane. But when fanatics are on top there is no limit to oppression.

I am absolutely opposed to a national ID card. This is a total contradiction of what a free society is all about. The purpose of government is to protect the secrecy and the privacy of all individuals not the secrecy of government. We don't need a national ID card.

Ladies if you want to know the way to my heart... good spelling and good grammar good punctuation capitalize only where you are supposed to capitalize it's done.
