The Income Tax Is An Excise, And Excise Taxes Are Privilege Taxes
The Federalist Papers, No. 15:
Except as to the rule of appointment, the United States have an indefinite discretion to make requisitions for men and money; but they have no authority to raise either by regulations extending to the individual citizens of America.
Entrepreneurs? Entrepreneurs are people who are going to perform no matter what. And we had our greatest economic growth when we had much higher tax rates. You want entrepreneurs. You need entrepreneurs to have a good society. I don't have any problem with entrepreneurs. But we need to have a system that also fairly distributes-- and government rules affect the distribution of this; it is not in a vacuum-- the burdens of society and the benefits of society. And so when we have people who make billion dollar a year incomes and pay 15 percent taxes and janitors who pay the same tax rate and school teachers who pay a 25 percent tax rate, something's amiss.

I am an entrepreneurs since 1984., and I agree with your statement. Except get rid of the IRS. It is nothing but a way to redistribute our money as the link clearly shows.
It always amazes me how many people comment, and insult before reading the link, and understanding the post.

Redistribution of money the middle class has earned is wrong weather it be to the unproductive poor (welfare/ ) or to the unproductive wealthy ("Trickle Down Theory"/ and BailOut).

Ignoring the commentary on the guy himself, he makes very good points about where capitalism has gone wrong and turned into corporatism.
"Let it not be said that we did nothing."-Ron Paul
"We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of COLLECTIVISM. They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book
What are you getting at? "Danke is still posting."
I have know about David Cay Johnson for a long time. He is a writer for the NYTs. He writes for the establishment about taxes and takes every opportunity to misconstrue and $#@! on the Tax Honesty movement.
