Did you know that in America nobody paid income taxes before the Civil War?<br /><br />The Civil War cost America a lot of money and Abraham Lincoln set up the IRS to collect income tax to help pay for that War. Ron Paul said that nobody in America should have to pay taxes, and he said that if he becomes president he's going to try and get rid of all income taxes. <br /><br />http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0005921.html
There's a reason income taxes are collected.

And even if they did do away with it, it wouldn't make a difference to anybody financially because it would made up for with a raised cost of living.

Oh please, that would never happen. As much as people like to complain about the government, they also depend on it just as much....
Yup. I;m curious as to how Paul would pay for the military, infrastructure, police and firefighters. Student loans, scientific grants, etc etc. The list goes on and on
How did the government pay for those things for 200 years when there was no such things as income tax?
Free labor.

So they actually paid for almost nothing. :)

There are things that Americans pay taxes on.

1. Americans pay income taxes.

2. When you buy something in the store you pay a sales tax.

3. If you own a house you pay property taxes.

4. If you invest in stocks, and mutual fund and sell from a profit, you have to pay the government a Capitol Gains tax.

5. If you own real estate and sell it you have to pay a Capitol Gain tax.

6. Then when you die your family got to pay a death tax.

The government is breaking the American people with all of these different taxes, it makes it hard for a lot of people to get ahead in life.
Ron Paul is right if we got rid of the income tax that would greatly help the American people.

All U.S. citizens and legal immigrants are forced to pay taxes and non payment of taxes can result in "income tax" evasion and other stiff penalties, including incarceration. A non believer need only be reminded of Al Capone, Wesley Snipes or other individuals predicament after being convicted of felony income tax evasion.

If any jurisdiction of government does not uphold the property rights, the Constitutional rights or other taxpayer's interests, this would be the essence of "Taxation without Competent Representation".

The United States Constitution, adopted in 1787, authorized the Federal government to lay and collect taxes, but required that some types of tax revenues be given to the states in proportion to population. Tariffs were the principal Federal tax through the 1800s.

By 1796, state and local governments in fourteen of the 15 states taxed land. Delaware taxed the income from property. By the American Civil War, the principle of taxation of property at a uniform rate had developed, and many of the states relied on property taxes as a major source of revenue. However, the increasing importance of intangible property, such as corporate stock, caused the states to shift to other forms of taxation in the 1900s.

Income taxes in the form of "faculty" taxes were imposed by the colonies. These combined income and property tax characteristics, and the income element persisted after 1776 in a few states.

It would be different if the information they needed wasn't right at their fingertips. They could literally, after thinking something, go search for it online and answer their damnselves.

That's it. I'mma start charging. I'm setting up a paypal account to collect the funds. And if you have 50 screen names then I'm collecting from ALL of them.

When you have to make an argument to folks why taxes are necessary, you have to pause and realize that you are arguing with someone who has NO basis in reality and probably should go live in the woods and live off the land with the animals. I mean dayum!
