No income tax on private legal US citizens. Only tax corporations, companies, LLC, businesses and non-us citizens. Non-us companies should pay a higher tax rate than us companies.

This is fundamentally a matter of the power of government being used in direct contradiction of its purpose. Our nation was founded to “protect the rights of men and that these rights are the right to life, liberty and property.” This means that all law should be what is called “negative law” (Bastiat). Negative law restricts Citizens and government from violating all Citizen’s three basic rights. “Negative law” says, “you will not…” where as positive law says, “you will…”. Personal income tax is a “positive law” (which is improper law) because it uses the force of government to take away a Citizen’s property (money) and give it to someone else. In effect, forcing one Citizen to give his labor, which property represents, to another. “Negative law” means that one Citizen or the government cannot simply take another Citizen’s property at will. The personal income tax violates one point and purpose of government and should be abolished. There are other means to raise revenue, ie. taxes which give Citizens greater control and provide the necessary funding of government.
