His supporters should know that Ron Paul advocates the elimination of the national income tax. There probably is over at Lew Rockwell's site a brief history of the passing of the 16th Amendment and what happened "behind the scenes," something to counter to the official history.
If an individual income tax is permissible at the national level, is it right that it generally places a greater burden on the citizenry than the state income tax? How much government does a true, limited federal government really need?
One might argue that we need a strong National Government to check the power of the corporations, given that corporate personhood is recognized in all the states, and corporations can be, in effect, superstate entitites. But what if the National Government is in alliance with the corporations and this alliance prevents reformers from attaining political office? What is to be done, then?
