Karl Marx stated in his communist manifesto that for communism to work you had to have "a heavy progressive or graduated income tax", in effect punishing people for being successful (Robertson).  The income tax was ruled as unconstitutional not once, but twice before becoming a burden on the American public.   Originally it was targeted only at the very rich, though that ceased to be so around World War II.  At this point it was spread across the board and even the middle class had to pay income tax rates that at one point would have been thought to be absurd, even for a millionaire (Roberts and Stratton).  There is a solution this problem: get rid of the offending tax and replace it with something which is 100% voluntary and taxes everyone in the country equally.  It sounds great does not it?  It could be a reality if the FairTax bill passes in the good ole US of A.  The FairTax, unlike our current tax, is a consumption tax.  It would institute a national sales tax instead of being taxed on income.  Along with the income tax the FairTax would eliminate all of the following: “the Social Security tax, the Medicare tax, corporate income taxes, the death tax, the self-employment tax, the alternative minimum tax, the gift tax, capital gains taxes, tax audits, and some major headaches every April 15 (Boortz and Linder).”  This would do everything to jump start the American economy.  Some of the perks you could look forward too would be: having the IRS and the income tax eliminated, removing all of the embedded taxes from everyday purchases, corporations would flock to the US to build their new factories which would open up lots of nice high paying jobs for college graduates, and you would get to keep every cent of your hard earned paycheck.  Read More »

 I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

You know the words.  But do you actually believe them?  Read More »

Imagine this: a family is asleep in their beds at 3:30 in the morning and an armed robber breaks into their home.  Because their governments have banned personal firearm ownership they are completely defenseless.  You out law guns and then only the out laws have guns; it’s not a pretty situation.  There are many myths surrounding gun control and the facts about places that have tried it, in this speech I intend to debunk as many of them as possible.  Read More »
