I don’t give the House credit for the plan they came up with. It did not cut our bloated budget far enough & included an income tax. Any plan that includes an income tax of any kind is a bad plan. It matters not how small it starts out. All taxes start out small to get voted in. In large part, an income tax is a redistribution of private property from people who have earned it to people who have not. It takes place in the form of government programs, subsidies & grants. Dr. Walter Williams has called the federal income tax, legalized plunder. Dr. Alan Keyes called it a slave tax & incompatible with freedom. Marx & Engels adopted the income tax in their “Communist Manifesto”. Our Founding Fathers did not support a direct tax on individuals because it was detrimental to liberty. They supported consumption taxes. A sales tax is a consumption tax. It does not take as much force or the threat of it to collect a sales tax. https://nccs.net/1996-03-answers-to-americas-tax-problems
