First...It's a tax that cannot be hidden....at all. 

that's a good thing, if most americans had to write an annual check to the gov't for income taxes instead of making their interest-free loans via withholding, the tax revolution would have been decades ago.  maybe that should be the next step, introduce money into the economy by outlawing withholding...

What? No, I don't mean JUST 260 million. I mean EVERY legal citizen will receive a check of this amount to cover the cost of taxes paid up to the poverty level.

should have put emphasis on the word legal... no green card, no money.  you can be here illegally, but you're gonna pay 23% tax on everything you buy and not get reimbursed up to the poverty level.  i believe there was a different thread about making the environment hostile to them and they'd leave?

True or False.  The Federal Government and America are the same thing?

FALSE
"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." --Norman Thomas, 1944
