It seems like the income tax is simply an unavoidable fact of life. But, in truth, we've had an income tax for less than a century. It should be obvious to any true liberal that the income tax is a fundamentally un-American system: it is intrusive, it is unjust, and it is certainly economically harmful. It is most especially harmful the poor and disenfranchised. It's also the source of most of the "corruption" in Washington D.C. that campaign finance reform advocates complain about.

As you fill out your 1040 this year, I invite you to contemplate why we must report to the government who we work for, what we do, and how much we make. And why we must go to jail if we refuse to do this. And whether or not it's really fair that the average American now pays about half of what he makes to the government.

There is a better way. It's called the Fair Tax. You can learn about it from Americans for Fair Taxation. Think they can't win? In the polls, support for eliminating the income tax is at an all-time high, and the number has been growing every year. This, despite the fact that many Americans are unaware of this political movement. I'm hoping to spread the word by posting about it here, and that others will do the same.

You may also want to encourage people to tune in to see Congressman John Linder on the "O'Reilly Factor" with Bill O'Reilly on Friday, April 12th at 8 p.m. on the Fox News Channel . Linder is a major advocate for the Fair Tax and deserves support.
