The personal federal income tax accounts for less than 50% of all faderal tax revenue. You could cut that in half and still cover things like law enforcement and whatever portion of federal dollars go to fire (though I think that's mostly state & local). Highways would also be OK, since a lot of that is funded by gasoline taxes (I have no issue with use taxes).

My point was not to eliminate taxes all together, but to control them. A flat, capped income tax is the best way to go. We cannot demand fiscal responsibility from government as long as there is no systemic way to prevent tax increases...Massachusetts, for example, has very good public schools, yet property taxes are constitutionally capped.

The point is to lower them by a significant percentage and then take action to cap them.

I have an example, but I'll start another thread.
