Ron Paul want's to abolish income tax. On one hand I understand why this is a popular idea, on the other hand I can't help but think that this would result in the worst economic nightmare this country has ever known.

Abolishing the income tax, along with the Federal Reserve, would be one of the best things that could happen to this country. First of all, the federal income tax is completely unconstitutional. Second, it doesn't pay for a damn thing. 100% of what is collected goes toward interest payments on the national debt. How would leaving money that doesn't pay for anything anyway in the pockets of Americans hurt the economy?

Why is federal income tax "unconstitutional" ? Do you mean it was created by an amendment - so its unconstitutional ? Well then, freedom of speech is unconstitutional as well.
