| Message | Taxation should be minimal at best. People should not be penalized for engaging in commerce which helps the economy as a whole. |

| Message | Yes. To do simple things like, um, OPERATE! Seriously we do need taxes. I agree on lessening this abominable tax rate but not abolishing the tax. |

| Message | We also get taxes via excise/use taxes, corporate taxes and such. Sales taxes are one type of tax. Now, the MLP would be more than willing to keep the sales tax IF the income tax and corporate taxes are eliminated. |

| Message | Apparently it grows in taxpayers pockets...at a rate of 10% for every dollar they spend. The government gets a cut just for you buying stuff that encourages commerce and helps create jobs, where wages are also taxed. Go figure. |

| Random quote: "The moral justification of capitalism does not lie in the altruist claim that it represents the best way to achieve 'the common good.' It is true that capitalism does, if that catch-phrase has any meaning, but this is merely a secondary consequence. The moral justification for capitalism lies in the fact that it is the only system consonant with man's rational nature, that it protects man's survival qua man, and that its ruling principle is justice." - Ayn Rand |
