    If this catches on across the country, then anyone that travels for a living should have to pay. We already have to pay taxes in our home state and town, and usually to the locality that our company sits in too. Can you imagine having to pay to every jurisdiction that we pick up and deliver in also? How about income tax paid the same way a company has to pay road use and fuel tax?

    I know in my area (San Diego County), gardners legally have to have a business license in the cities they mow lawns in. Of course, not all do, since the city enforcer has to catch them, Same with lunch wagons.

    I wonder how many people realize that an "income tax" is the 2nd plank of the Communist Manifesto?

    Here are the 10 Planks of the Communist Manifesto

    1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
    2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
    3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.
    4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
    5. Centralisation of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
    6. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
    7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
    8. Equal liability of all to labour. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
    9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of the population over the country.
    10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.
    #2 and #5 should all look very familiar to you all. You've been living under them ALL your life.

    As a matter of fact, all 10 planks have been implemented in one fashion or another in the United States.

    And since all 10 planks have beem implemented in the U.S. if I called you all Communists, would I be lying?

    Well, would I?

    And since all ten planks have been implemented in the U.S., would I be telling the truth if I said the U.S. had been subverted from its "Democratic Republican Free Market Economy" established by the Revolutionaries after the American Revolution to a Communist/Fascist dictatorship based upon the ideas of Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, V.I. Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini, and Adolph Hitler?

    And would you pay an income tax in such a system to such leaders of State?

    How do you know you haven't been all along?

    Do you know which nation holds the most U.S. debt? That would be Communist China. What does that mean? Well, it means that every time you pay your "income taxes" it goes to service the interest on the U.S. Debt which is mostly held by.....guess who.

    Just a little sumpin' for you to think about next time you pay your "income" taxes.....KOMRAD.

    Why not tax the politicians for the dumb ideas they propose in the legislature? That would put most state budgets in the black...:biggrin_2558:

    One of the power enumerated to Congress should be stopping this nonsense. One of their duties is to Regulate Interstate Commerce, or rather, to Keep Commerce Regular.

    I think this is mostly to stop really stupid things like Import/Export tariffs between the united states and I think such a power should be wielded to stop something like this.
