So does the following gibberish.

No one has ever had a 100% income tax imposed on them in this country. The 
rest of the statement is pure lunacy.

For the average person it is simplicity itself and the most complicated 
rules they will ever face are the IRA distribution rules.

> Taxes go to finance hare brained ideas and pork barrels.

They also go to finance a lot of necessary things, more so then the waste 
you attribute to them. And besides, if you don't like how your tax money is 
being spent, it is incumbant upon you in this demoratic form of government 
we live under, to convince enough other voters of the correctness of your 
opinion so they will vote to change things. Howevert, to accomplish that you 
have to avoid moronic statements like taxes are slavery

Yes, and all of recorded history shows that the redistribution you talk 
about is the massive concentration of wealth in a very few hands. Much worse 
than anything we see today.

A statement without foundation and 100% unsupoortable.

The fact that it has never worked in the history of mankind apparently means 
absolutely nothing to you.
