If you really want to judge the sincerity and/or competency of a candidate running for office who tells you his missions is to take back our federal government from the “Washington Machine”, then study what that candidate proposes with regard to tax reform and if that candidate denounces what we are forced to use as money.
I believe a large segment of America’s businesses and taxpaying citizens realize the experiment with allowing Congress to lay and collect taxes calculated from profits, gains, salaries and other lawfully earned incomes has resulted in a nightmare which allows massive fraud and abuse, including how our Washington Machine uses this form of taxation to fatten the fortunes of its friends while punishing its enemies, and this is in addition to how destructive this hideous and arbitrary tax is to America’s private sector’s economic engine.
Unfortunately Rand Paul’s version of tax reform is similar to that of Senator Cruz who tells us he wants to close down the IRS, and in the next breath promotes keeping it open by offering a flat tax upon profits, gains, salaries and other lawfully earned incomes which in fact keeps this destructive taxing power in the Washington Machine’s hands and the IRS open.
Keep in mind neither of these two, Paul or Cruz, expound upon the virtues of our Constitution’s ORIGINAL TAX PLAN as our founders intended it to operate, nor do they embrace the brilliance and wisdom of the rule requiring any direct tax to be apportioned just as each State’s number of representatives are apportioned. This rule, as intended by our founders, required that whenever Congress decided to lay a direct tax __ a tax assessed upon the individual by government __ each state’s share of a total being raised by Congress would be proportionately equal to it Representation in Congress, i.e., representation with a proportional financial obligation! In fact, this turns out to be an equal per capita tax if laid directly upon the people.
Why is it that both Cruz and Paul promote keeping alive the Washington Machine’s power to lay and collect taxes calculated from “incomes” instead of promoting to return to our Constitution’s original tax plan by promising to have an amendment sent to the States for ratification which declares:
“SECTION 1. The Sixteenth Amendment is hereby repealed and Congress is henceforth forbidden to lay ``any`` tax or burden calculated from profits, gains, interest, salaries, wages, tips, inheritances or any other lawfully realized money.
"SECTION 5. This Amendment to the Constitution, when ratified by the required number of States, shall take effect no later than (?) years after the required number of States have ratified it.
Additionally, neither Cruz or Paul explain why our founders specifically rejected allowing our federal government to make “notes of any kind” a legal tender for all debt public and private, and how Federal Reserve Notes, having been made a legal tender for all debts public and private in defiance of our Constitution, are now used by our Washington Machine to plunder real material wealth which America's businesses and labor have produced.
