Comment: Do the math...

Remember Herman Cain and 9-9-9? My county has a 9% sales tax. Under Herman's plan, I pay the 9% sales tax, and a 9% consumption tax. That's 18% at the counter.

We should look to the US Constitution and allow the government to fund itself with imports and excise taxes, under the terms spelled out in the Constitution. Abolish the 16th amendment, the 17th amendment and go back to sound money, money backed by something of value and state legislatures choosing members of the Senate.

The only way to limit the federal government is to take away it's authority to borrow fiat dollars, running up the debt, fractional banking, and paying interest on our own money, which means ending the Federal Reserve.
