Again, sensibility escapes most when it comes to taxes.

I was at a speech by Huckabee. He said tax on sales. Well that means drug dealers and prostitutes would pay more tax.

Class envy is a tool used by Marxist, Communist and Socialist to pit the middle class and the rich against each other.

Poor people already see huge tax increases on cigarettes. Obama smokes but he is wealthy.

I am for fair taxes. Fair is equality right?

It's really not about class envy or class warfare.

Coadie,

Are you against the idea of eliminating the income tax all together to replace that system where only purchased goods are taxed?

Why or why not?
