I'd much prefer the elimination of coercive taxes alltogether. Not only would this mean I'd keep -all- of the money I earn, but it would strangle this monster known as the Federal Government, and pare it down to it's Constitutionally-mandated functions. Tarriffs could perhaps be permissible, as would user-fees on things like roads, the Post Office, Ports of Entry, etc etc. However, -forcing- someone to give up a portion of their income is the moral equivalent of holding a gun to their heads and demanding their wallet. Not to mention that fact that runaway taxation, combined with out-of-control inflation, has reduced the buying power of today's dollar to something like 8% of what it was 100 years ago: no wonder we all live 3 paychecks from poverty!
