My thoughts on income tax possibly being abolished.

A lot of people around me seem to be cheering the potential end of income tax. They all seem to think its going to make them rich! Indeed our physical checks will be bigger if this legislation passes into law, no doubt about that!

There's a flip side to that coin.. Benjamin Franklin famously once said

"Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes."

Death and taxes. Do not doubt the government WILL get is taxes. Maybe not directly out of your check, but believe me they will find a way to squeeze that lemon. We're not paying off 36 Trillion dollars of debt by eliminating taxes. Their not funding even a slimmed down government by reducing your tax burden.

Don't fall for the sirens call. Ignore the promises of great wealth, because it's not for you and I. Everybody seems enchanted by this idea, if only they actually thought of the implications instead of greedly just thinking of their paychecks. Their being played for a fool, and the rich are laughing even harder.
